A few do but not many – I think the general population should have a much better understanding of science.

My friends, who have a background in science, do understand when I discuss science with them. I explain in very simple terms, starting from the basics, for the other friends who have some other background.

Over 30 years!
Radha commented on :
My science friends do. My non science friends find it difficult. I find it’s an opportunity to try to word what I do in language that everyone can understand.
David commented on :
Yes as a lot of my friends have science backgrounds but anybody else, no they haven’t got a clue when I talsk about what I do. Really sad that people don’t know more about science.
Alice commented on :
Both my parents have worked in Science and lots of my friends are Scientists so they get the more technical bits – but I feel I’ve been doing this long enough now that I can explain quite well to “non-scientists” what I do as a day job.
I think the last couple of years has also bought Science to the front of many peoples minds who may not have considered how important it is before!

My friends who are scientists understand but I simplify it when talking to non scientists
