The Public Understanding of Science and the Misunderstanding of Its Affects

This sediment deposits radioactive cesium isotope on the ground through rainwater and radiates a large sheep flock to the farm and the surrounding area of ​​northern Cumbria. The farmers quickly found their troublesome change and asked for help in the scientific community, as they suspected that the radiation caused by Chernobyl explosion was the cause. However, scientists initially thought that solving this problem quickly and solving it was a simple matter, but ban measures were taken six weeks after June.

The science of society, the image of scientists, and general misunderstandings and interests in science clearly show the influence of science and society on each other. The media has created and poured images of several stereotypes around the scientists around the world into the public's mind for many years. These images influence the perception of people's science and the perception of themselves and other people by scientists. In terms of knowledge, science also separates itself from the public. Compared with scientists, ordinary people know little about science. This has had a major impact on the way the public observes and respects science. This "gap" in understanding also affects how scientists work and act. Alexandru McKenn derrick's movie 'The man in white clothes' and Marcel · Lavlette 'Science autonomy: the scientific public image' (1910-1955) shows the relationship between science and society.

One: The general public began to feel as if they were put. If scientists do not think that all citizens have the ability to learn and understand science, the public will feel contempt, so they will not listen to scientists! When you raise yourself to an elite level, it is easy to become condescending. Our current government seems to make it one of the goals of rejecting and banning science (climate change, vaccine safety etc.), making trust between scientists and non-scientists more important than ever It is.

A nonprofit organization of science and the public association was founded in 1921 and is headquartered in Washington, DC. Since its founding, SSP has not only promoted public participation in scientific research but also promoted public understanding of science. We continue to hold three famous science contests: Regeneron Science Talent Search (started in 1942), Intel International Science and Engineering Expo (started in 1950), Broadcom MASTERS (created in 2010). SSP also publishes award-winning news, Science News (started in 1922) and Science Journal students (created in 2003). There are also blog collections in magazines (including Eureka! Lab).
