The first type of misuse of science, was essentially the misuse of resources against the spirit of science. The second type of misuse was the use of shoddy methods and bias to support fear and emotion in society.

I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU
Explanation:
The first type of misuse of science, was essentially the misuse of resources against the spirit of science. The second type of misuse was the use of shoddy methods and bias to support fear and emotion in society. The third type is the creation of knowledge that might actually harm us or the planet we live on.
Perhaps people might first think of the atomic bomb or polluting industries, and I think that these are good examples. However, I am more concerned about the ostensibly good discoveries for which we do not have the societal wisdom to recognize as harmful. I believe at least some efforts are being taking to curtail the first two types of misuse I talked about, although the support of emotion and ideology maybe less so. But the third type: rigorous and well-done science that is actually harmful, is so difficult to discern at the time of doing it that it is so easy to overlook.
One example is the development of technology such as smartphones. The existence of such technologies is not necessarily harmful, but the intensity and level of integration in our lives could be. For example, smartphones can be addictive and has been shown to be related to perceived stress [2]. Science is the ultimate source of new developments and technology companies are the driver, pushing these new developments into the hands of individuals. The natural and healthy inclination in most of us to connect with others is used as a tool for profit, and that cycle is perpetuated throughout modern society with the incremental improvements every year of new and more integrative devices.
There is actually a debate in the literature about the severity of smartphones such as in [3]. I think this is a healthy investigation in a sense, but we also should be aware that it could be a reflection of a strongly held belief that smartphones might pose problems on occasions but most of the time they are not so bad. Indeed, I will admit that I brought up this example because I dislike smartphones myself and that is also partly emotional. And, I will not argue in this post that they are inherently bad. Rather, I want to say that it is examples such as these that should examined intimately, not just from a short-term psychological point of view, but from a long-term view towards its impact on society and the environment. It is precisely the intricate and seemingly innocuous appearance of new technology that warrants us to be cautions of it.
Other example that comes to mind are extending the human lifespan and virtual reality, both of which are intensely studied in the literature.
