This category focuses on how scientific knowledge is built, tested, challenged, and refined over time. That includes translation into technology, medicine, and policy, as well as the gaps and delays that often appear along the way. Understanding why is part of understanding science. Rather than treating science as a collection of facts, this category treats it as an ongoing process. It focuses on work that deepens understanding, withstands scrutiny, and remains useful long after the initial result or announcement fades.
