Quotes I would have wanted to know the motive of the scientists who knew it would take long but transmitted inadequate information. The media is key to creating this link between science and society as science not communicated is science lost. Publishing findings in journals is good but the information therein never reaches the public. By reporting about scientific developments, the media contribute to public understanding of and engagement with science and technology.
