True I have not been a scientist for a while now, and a lot may have changed 
since I moved to  the IT world.

One of the ideas that came out of the Pugwash conference I attended years ago 
was that scientists must do a better job of explaining what they to to the 
general public.   I haven't seen much of a change.  If you compare the number 
of scientists in the country with number of them who make their work 
accessible to the lay public I think "not many" still applies.
