All too often people assume they understand the milieu in which scientists work, if for no other reason than they took a few science and math college courses years ago.

When politicians ‘talk science’ they are really talking politics. People need to know and understand that.

Unless and until people work in a post graduate environment, they are in fact only familiar with academic based science. I submit it would serve people well if they understood how science and research really works as well how scientists address each other, criticize each other’s work, etc.
