For example, when the nation has a food crises, should the scientist from indirect field involved in that issues or they have nothing to do with that and run business as usual? Does scientist have to aware about national issues, such as oil crisis effected Indonesia’s APBN, energy crises, poverty, famine? How about their role in academic itself?
