Don’t know what you thought about last weeks Reith Lecture – I found it a little predictable. Lots of guff about scientists talking in “laymans terms” as the only way to bring science to the masses.
Come on Lord Broer, the problem is not with the scienctists it’s with the educators, there needs to be a complete overhaul of the way science is taught at school so the public can understand scientists and the work that they produce.
Exactly what I thought – very uninspiring (see my post). If this is what passes for academic at the Beeb nowadays, I am very worried.
