Popis: The term civic scientist has been used within the science community since 1997. The term has come to be interpreted in a variety of ways. This article, which was first prepared for the session “Cultivating the Civic Scientist” at the 2001 annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Francisco on 16 February 2001, offers one perspective about the meaning of the term. It links the notion of being a civic scientist, as proposed by Neal Lane in 1997, to civic duty, which the authors define as a personal call to public service that is not necessarily linked to one's research career.
