The Savants and the Rest. Bensaude-Vincent, B. Diogenes, 43(169):133–151, 1995. 1
abstract   bibtex   
Scientists and intellectuals have long been derided by the uneducated, and the popularization of science has purportedly been to ease public ignorance. The question of whether scientific knowledge can be translated to lay terms is discussed, along with opinion versus science. Only education can make popularization effective. Specialization among scientists, medicine, popular science and the history of public opinion about science and attitudes of scientists are analyzed.
