How and why do the life sciences cite social sciences?

Which is more challenging: developing a vaccine for an unforeseen pandemic in under a year, or convincing people to take it? A lesson from COVID-19 is that both the development and adoption of science can be equally challenging. From research to solution, societal factors lie in the last mile, capable of either facilitating or hindering the problem-solving power of science. Scholarly understanding of society, the realm of the social sciences, can complement life sciences by re-embedding biological entities into societal structures and navigating public acceptance of innovations.
