Science is the skill which governs the rate of researching new technologies.

Research progresses at a rate of .28 + science skill * .01. For instance, a science skill of 5 will give you a .33 science multiplier, meaning every 3 hours spent in research will give you 1 man's hour worth of progress.

Characters can gain experience in Science by using Research Bench, Electrical Workbench or Hemp Processor.
