How does the study of science benefit society ?

A non scientist cant run the same experiments as a scientist because there is specific equiptment that you may need and it can be hard to get your hands on them. The study of science does not slow down society I don't think the study of science keeps more people employed than any other industry, there's a lot but it's not overall So that leaves the last option which is true you see it in medicine a lot after much experimentation it tries to fix an illness that we have in society

Salutations!

How does the study of science benefit society?

Science is applied everywhere in the society: industry, labs, home. Science helps to keep more of population recruited for many job opportunities, such as doctors. Even though, you might not be a doctor, you might still get into fields that are non- science, leaving you employed. Science gives a big helping hand in the real problems of society. 

Hope I helped (:
