Popularisation of Science



"Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge" (Carl Sagan)


Joseph Roche could be better at explaining scientific concepts to non-scientisits (ie the vast public). In fact, he vehemently wishes he was better at it and is trying (albeit half-heartedly) to improve. People who have the gift of making difficult scientific concepts easy-to-understand but still interesting and exciting are few and far between. A few of Joseph's favourites are below, with more to be added.


Good Science Websites:

Carl Sagan

Hero. No one has done more for the popularisation of Science in the modern technology-driven world. He is one of Joseph Roche's all time favourite scientists.

Simon Singh

Another gifted and inspirational teacher of Science.

More to Come

There is actually a list of great websites sitting on Joseph Roche's desk. They will all eventually be posted here.
