my notes ( ? )
Scientists often speak of the “general public” as a group that is far removed from the academic circles that they belong to.... Scientists have “othered” the general public... there is no such thing ... except for in very specific contexts (i.e. vaccine developers are not the general public vs those who do not develop vaccines when one is speaking about vaccine research)... each one of us is a member of the “general public” in infinite contexts...
The nature of science itself is gathering information and making theories based on data. Theories are only accepted until evidence is found that proves them wrong. Scientists are constant fact checkers...
Scientists have the incredible opportunity to use Twitter and other forms of social media to educate the public on science!
