This talk explores our lack of knowledge of the strange quark contribution to
the nucleon spin, Δs. Data on Δs from inclusive and
semi-inclusive polarized deep-inelastic scattering will be reviewed, followed
by a discussion of how the ongoing program of parity-violating elastic
electron-nucleon scattering experiments, that seek out the strange
electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon, need to have an estimate for the
strange axial form factor to carry out that program, and how the value of
Δs extracted from the DIS experiments has filled that role. It is shown
that elastic νp, νˉp, and parity-violating ep data can
be combined to extract the strange electric, magnetic and axial form factors
simultaneously. A proposed experiment that could address this important issue
if briefly previewed.Comment: 4 pages, to appear in proceedings in PAVI04, Eur. Jour. Phy
