The scientific understanding of the public

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in The Talented Manager, 2012, pp 192-194 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The most famous atheist of our time, Richard Dawkins, held a chair in the Public Understanding of Science. Others have copied this clever idea, so there are Professors of the Public Understanding of Psychiatry, one of Psychology, and one of the Media. It’s all about determining the public’s lamentable knowledge about a topic and then providing education on the subject.
