The Conversation
Oxford Martin Commissioner Lord Rees writes for The Conversation on the importance of science education. "Science isn’t just for scientists. It’s not just a training for careers. Today’s young people – all of them – will live in a world, ever more dependent on technology, and ever more vulnerable to its failures or misdirection. To be at ease in this fast-changing world, and to be effective citizens, they will all need at least some 'feel' for science – enough to prevent them being bamboozled by propaganda and bad statistics, or over-deferential to experts."
