Abstract: There is no doubt that the world has an increasingly intense love-hate relationship with science. Physics certainly does not escape this deep ambivalence, and we naturally wonder if there is anything that might make "them" love us a little more and hate us a little less? This question can be formulated seriously, and will be among the issues concerning science and its relations with society that will be addressed at the World Conference on Science in Budapest, Hungary, later this month. Most scientists will be represented in some way at the conference, since it is sponsored by both the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Council for Science (ICSU), which represents national scientific bodies.
