When Scientific Literacy is a Matter of Life and Death by Robert E. Slavin

When Scientific Literacy is a Matter of Life and Death
Robert E. Slavin
The Covid-19 crisis has put a spotlight on the importance of science.  More than at any time I can recall (with the possible exception of panic over the Soviet launch of Sputnik), scientists are in the news.  We count on them to find a cure for people with the Covid-19 virus and a vaccine to prevent new cases.  We count on them to predict the progression of the pandemic, and to discover public health strategies to minimize its spread.  We are justifiably proud of the brilliance, dedication, and hard work scientists are exhibiting every day. 
 
Yet the Covid-19 pandemic is also throwing a harsh light on the scientific understanding of the whole population.
