On the Health of Science

Cassidy, Harold G.

Journal of Chemical Education, 50, 12, 818-819, Dec 73

Describes the present status of science as an industrialized-affluent culture resting upon a public woefully lacking in scientific background and scientists with activities taken in by nihilism. Suggests all scientists actively work together through teaching, talk, and behavior to counter the forces of anti-science and nihilism. (CC)
