The GESDA Science Breakthrough Radar presents an overview of some of the world's most anticipated scientific disruptions and how the world's citizens are discussing, perceiving and acting in response to them. These breakthroughs and the related discussions contribute to our evolving understanding of what makes us human and how we relate to each other and to our ecosystem. The key question now is what can and should be done about them.
