Science for the Masses?

Abstract

Science today has become so specialized that it is seemingly impossible for a layperson to understand any but the most basic and general of topics. However, the vast majority of people do not even understand these. I presented the (unoriginal) hypothesis that the fault lies with the scientist. We will explored the possible shortcomings of ourselves as instigators of public investigation and interest in our subjects. No consensus was reached as to possible solutions.
