Noooo!
This article in the BBC online news is so depressing. How can I convince the children of the world that science is, “all that?” Perhaps when people stop being defensive by acting so proud of their own ignorance. That is the hardest part about science, and what people just do not understand. You have to get used to being wrong a whole lot. And get used to people PROVING you are wrong in front of all your friends. Or even proving yourself wrong. It can be really hard on your ego, and it is too much for a lot of people. Scientists who can’t take that kind of pressure wander the halls of science mere shadows of their former selves. They are called, “Product Reps.”
