Curator comment

At the segment starting around minute 42 in the full episode on the Charlie Rose site, Rose says there needs to be a public information project…to facilitate “sharing of knowledge” …. on ...

“We are living in a scientifically sophisticated universe…where people have to make decisions based on technological information that they often don’t understand. I think the scientific community needs to make an effort to explain science to the public.

That is not only because science is supported by the public…science is essential in an informed democratic society for people to make intelligent decisions about their future.”

Eric Kandel, Columbia University.
