How You Feel about Science
Scientific advances can stimulate the economy and are behind many of today's top political issues, but how does the scientifically literate public feel about science? Scientific American and Nature teamed up to find out, with a survey that drew responses from 21,000 readers around the world. The questions covered subjects ranging from trust in scientists and whether they should get involved in politics to spending on research. Distinctions became apparent between the United States and Europe in terms of attitudes to technologies; these are highlighted in the Scientific American article. Only 18% of US respondents wish to phase out nuclear power, compared with 66% of European respondents, and only 13% of US respondents are concerned about the risks associated with genetically modified crops, compared with 27% of Europeans. But just 8% of respondents across the whole geographical range would disapprove of embryo research under any circumstances. Nature's feature focuses on the striking differences between the responses from east Asia and those from the rest of the world. For example, a startling 35% of Japanese respondents and nearly 50% of Chinese respondents agreed that there is "reason for doubt" about evolutionary theory's ability to explain the variety of species on Earth. In contrast, the numbers for the rest of the world fluctuated around 10%. Japanese and Chinese respondents were also less likely than others to say that they trust scientific explanations for the origins of the Universe. And almost a third of scientifically literate Chinese people say that scientists should stay out of politics, compared with around 10% in most of the rest of the world.
