The scientific community stands on three pillars: science, technology, and society. Science is the foundation upon which technology is built, and it is the advancement of technology that enables the development and progress of science. Nevertheless, the triumph of this interdependent relationship relies heavily on society's comprehension and acknowledgment of science's significance.
