Big questions and issues arise about the role of the scientific life in our society and in our world. These have to do with trusting science at all, or with the wider roles of the scientist. The Whens and Wheres of a Scientific Life serves as an epilogue to author John R. Helliwell's scientific life trilogy of books on the Hows (i.e. skills), the Whys and the Whats of a scientific life. When and where questions play a big role in major science facility decisions. When and where also play a big role in controlling a pandemic like the coronavirus COVID-19. The consequences of such work and the role science plays in society are discussed in this book.
Key Features:
- Discusses when and where we can make new and better things happen and make new discoveries. Explains whens and wheres as examples in basic science and explaining these to the public
- User friendly and concise, this text provides a wide range of examples of science and discovery
- The author has diverse experience in career development, teaching and research
- The importance of open data to the reproducibility of science are described

大問題和議題出現在科學生活在我們社會和世界中的角色。這些問題涉及到是否信任科學，或科學家的更廣泛角色。科學生活的何時與何地作為作者約翰·R·赫利威爾（John R. Helliwell）關於科學生活的三部曲的尾聲，該三部曲探討了科學生活的如何（即技能）、為什麼和什麼。何時和何地的問題在重大科學設施的決策中扮演著重要角色。何時和何地在控制像新冠病毒 COVID-19 這樣的疫情中也扮演著重要角色。本書討論了這類工作的後果以及科學在社會中所扮演的角色。
主要特色：
- 討論何時和何地我們可以創造新的、更好的事物並進行新的發現。以基本科學中的何時和何地作為例子，並向公眾解釋這些概念。
- 本書用戶友好且簡潔，提供了廣泛的科學和發現的例子。
- 作者在職業發展、教學和研究方面擁有多樣的經驗。
- 描述了開放數據對科學可重複性的重要性。

John R Helliwell, DSc (Physics, University of York), DPhil (Molecular Biophysics, Oxford University) is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at The University of Manchester, where he served as Professor of Structural Chemistry from 1989 to 2012. Academic teaching from 1979 till 1988 was at the Universities of Keele and York in the physics departments there. He is a researcher in the fields of crystallography, biophysics, structural biology, structural chemistry and data science. He was also based at the Synchrotron Radiation Source at the UK's Daresbury Laboratory, in various periods of appointment between 1979 to 2008, including in 2002 as Director of Synchrotron Radiation Science. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Royal Society of Biology, and the American Crystallographic Association, an Honorary Member of the British Crystallographic Association and of the British Biophysical Society. He is a Corresponding member of the Royal Academy of Sciences & Arts of Barcelona, Spain and Honorary Member of the National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia. His awards include the European Crystallographic Association Eighth Max Perutz Prize 2015, the American Crystallographic Association Patterson Award 2014, and the 'Professor K Banerjee Endowment Lecture Silver Medal' of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) 2001. He published over 200 scientific research papers and several books, e.g. Macromolecular Crystallography with Synchrotron Radiation with Cambridge University Press (1992), published in paperback in 2005 and Macromolecular Crystallization and Crystal Perfection with N E Chayen and E H Snell), Oxford University Press - International Union of Crystallography Monographs on Crystallography (2010). He has published several Scientific Life, popular science, books in recent years, which are with CRC Press Taylor and Francis.
