Science Under Attack

If you missed it and are interested in the relationship between science, pseudo-science and the media then try to watch the episode of Horizon called Science Under Attack by Sir Paul Nurse, the current president of the Royal Society. You can find it on YouTube.

The program highlights why scientists, rather than the media and bloggers, should be listened to when it comes to the important issue of global warming and climate change. It also shows that scientists can be inept when dealing with the media and the importance that they learn to get their message across to the public - aka 'the electorate'.
