The Lantern is a student-run, interdisciplinary think tank that investigates the social impact of science and technology to advocate for responsible innovation.

Problem #1. The way of thinking in the technical world is not varied enough for the territory that it has entered. 

→ We believe that the question of socially responsible innovation demands dialogue across disciplines. 

Problem #2: Academic and expert discussions are not accessible to the general public. 

→ We believe that information should be distributed in a way that is easy to understand for the people who are affected by the decisions.  

As a “Think-and-Action” Tank, The Lantern has a dual mission: (1) to break down critical and complex ideas at the intersection of science, technology, and society (STS) for the general public, (2) to engage students and organizations in a socially responsible path of science and technology.
