We have this wonderful new medium in the form of blogs that is slowly revolutionizing the way people obtain information - we can't let activists and conspiracy theorists have all the fun!<BR/><BR/>Seriously, though, there needs to be some communication between scientists and laypeople. Until now, the communication has been practically non-existent - which I think is directly related to the small numbers of young people entering science careers and the large number of people who have no clue (just look at all the people who reject vaccines and pasteurization, for example).Anastasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05792297656429037845noreply@blogger.com
