The British may not care for genetically modified crops, but we do care
about science, according to research published today. A Mori report
reveals that eight out of 10 Britons think science makes a good
contribution to society. Paradoxically, only 40% consider themselves
very or fairly well informed about science.
"The UK has an excellent history of scientific achievement but with
only four in 10 people feeling informed about science and eight out of
10 supportive of public consultation, now is the time for greater
engagement and dialogue," said Patricia Hewitt, the trade and industry
secretary.
