A Science plays an increasingly significant role in people’s

lives, making the faithful communication of scientific

developments more important than such communication is

fraught with challenges that can easily distort discussions,

leading to unnecessary confusion and misunderstandings.

B Some problems stem from the esoteric nature of current rearch

and the associated difficulty of finding sufficiently faithful

terminology. Abstraction and complexity are not signs that a given

scientific direction is wrong, as some commentators have

suggested, but are instead a tribute to the success of human

ingenuity in meeting the increasingly complex challenges that

nature prents. They can, however, make communication more

difficult. But many of the biggest challenges for science

reporting ari becau in areas of evolving rearch, scientists

themlves often only partly understand the full implications of

any particular advance or development. Since that dynamicapplies

to most of the scientific developments that directly affect

people’s lives global warming, cancer rearch, diet studies—

learning how to overcome it is critical to spurringa more informed

scientific debate among the broader public.

C Ambiguous word choices are the source of some

misunderstandings. Scientists often employ colloquial

terminology, which they then assign a specific meaning that is

impossible to fathomwithout proper term

“relativity,” for example, is intrinsically misleading. Many

interpret the theory to mean that everything is relative and there

are no absolutes. Yet although the measurements any obrver makes

depend on his coordinates and reference frame, the physical

phenomena he measures have an invariant description that

transcends that obrver’s particular coordinates. Einstein’s

theory of relativity is really about finding an invariant

description of physical

phenomena. True, Einstein agreed with the idea that his theory

would have been better named “Invariantentheorie.” But the term

“relativity” was already entrenched at the time for him to

change.

D “The uncertainty principle” is another frequently abud

term. It is sometimesinterpreted as a limitation on obrvers and

their ability to make measurements.

E But it is not about intrinsic limitations on any one particular

measurement;it is about the inability to precily measure

particular pairs of quantitiessimultaneously? The first

interpretation is perhaps more engaging from aphilosophical or

political perspective. It’s just not what the science is about.

F Even the word “theory” can be a problem. Unlike most people,

who uthe word to describe a passing conjecture that they often

regard as suspect,physicists have very specific ideas in mind when

they talk about physicists, theories entail a

definite physical framework embodied in at of fundamental

assumptions about the world that lead to a specific t ofequations

and predictions—ones that are borne out by successful

es aren’t necessarily shown to be correct or

complete Einstein took the better part of a

decade to develop the correct versionof his theory of general

relativity. But eventually both the ideas and themeasurements

ttle down and theories are either proven correct, abandoned

orabsorbed into other, more encompassing theories.

G “Global warming” is another example of problematic

ologists predict more drastic fluctuations in

temperatureandrainfall— not necessarily that every place will be

warmer. The namesometimes subverts the debate, since it lets

people argue that their winter waswor, so how could there be

global warming? Clearly “global climate change”would have been

a better name. But not all problems stem solely from poorword

choices. Some stem from the intrinsically complex nature of much

ofmodern science. Science sometimes transcends this limitation:

remarkably,chemists were able to detail the preci chemical

process involved in thedestruction of the ozone layer, making

the evidence that chlorofluorocarbongas (Freon, for example)

were destroying the ozone layer indisputable.

H A better understanding of the mathematical significance of

results and lessinsistence on a simple story would help to

clarifymany scientific veral months, Harvard was

tortured months, Harvard was torturedby empty debates over the

relative intrinsic scientific abilities of men andwomen. One of

the more amusing aspects of the discussion was that thowho

believed in the differences and tho who didn’t ud the same

evidenceabout gender-specific special ability. How could that be?

The answer is that thedata shows no substantial effects. Social

factors might account for the tinydifferences, which in any ca

have an unclear connection to scientific much of a

headline when phrad that way, is it? Each type of sciencehas its

own source of complexity and potential for miscommunication.

Yetthere are steps we can take to improve public understanding in

all cas. Thefirst would be to inculcate greater understanding

and acceptance of indirectscientific evidence. The information

from an unmanned space mission is noless legitimate than the

information from one in which people are on board.

I This doesn’t mean never questioning an interpretation, but it

also doesn’tmean equating indirect evidence with blind belief,

as people sometimessuggest. Second, we might need different

standards for evaluating science withurgent policy implications

than rearch with purely theoretical value. Whenscientists say

they are not certain about their predictions, it doesn’t

necessarilymean they’ve found nothing substantial. It would be

better if scientists weremore open about the mathematical

significance of their results and if thepublic didn’t treat math

as quite so scary; statistics and errors, which tell us

theuncertainty in a measurement, give us the tools to evaluate new

developmentsfairly.

J But most important, people have to recognize that science can

be we accept only simple stories, the description will

necessarily be advances are subtle or complicated,

scientists should be willing to gothe extra distance to give proper

explanations and the public should be morepatient about the truth.

Even so, some difficulties are unavoidable. Mostdevelopments

reflect work in progress, so the story is complex becau no oneyet

knows the big picture.
