	Popular science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Popular science is interpretation of science intended for a general audience, rather than for other scientists or students.
		The best popular science is produced by people skilled in both science and communication who approach the subject from a neutral point of view.
		Popular science may also blur the boundaries between formal science and pseudoscience.

	Brian Clegg - Popular Science Author
		See a short video clip of Brian talking about science, drop Brian an e-mail, find out a bit about him in his biography, see details of events at which Brian will be speaking, and read an interview with Brian.
		Science has always fascinated me. There is a sense of wonder about the more amazing aspects of science that really isn't duplicated in any other subject.
		Of the other popular science authors, I'm particularly fond of James Gleick, and Simon Singh is always good value for money, but again I read fairly widely in non-fiction.

	Popular Science Crowns PSP and Xbox 360 - Kotaku
		First and foremost, Popular Science is a science magazine.
		It's just too early to say anything except that it will likely be very popular this x-mas, whether or not the hardware lives up to the hype, or there are any (good) games.
		The PSP is being viewed as "gadget of the year" because Popular Science probably isn't interested in the thing as a gaming device.

	eBay - Science Fiction
		Science fiction is a genre of writing that works on the assumption that there are alternative galaxies and realities in the world.
		The impact of science and technology are taken into account to create an alternate world full of advancements in the areas of computers, human evolution, or machinery.
		The borders of science fiction are not always clear, but in general, sci-fi is a genre in which an imagined world can be created and legitimized through science and technology.

	The Greatest Popular Science Book! \| Cosmic Variance
		The best popular science book of all, though (and must surely be one of the earliest) is, I think, J.E. Gordon’s ‘The New Science of Strong Materials (or why we don’t fall through the floor)’.
		It was a cutting-edge synthesis of the gene-centered approach by a at-the-time active zoologist, who both synthesized the recent work of Hamilton, Williams, Trivers etc. and advanced it, as well as made it persuasive with extraordinarily rigorous and lively prose, plus he introduced the whole theory of memes as a kind of afterthought.
		This is not to say that it is not a good book but a popular science book should be readable by people who have not studied math on a university level.

		Yesterday's AAAS panel "Engaging the Public on Controversial Science," drew an audience of 60-90 attendees.
		Using the examples of stem cell research and intelligent design, I emphasized the difference between the traditional popular science model of communication and an alternative model based on research in political communication.
		Many scientists, science educators, and professional communicators prefer to think of their engagement activities as relatively neutral exercises in science education.

		He's a very popular TV presenter in the UK (sadly seriously injured when a jet-propelled car crashed in Autumn 2006, but recovering well as this review is written), best known for presenting the irreverent car show Top Gear, and the laddish science programme Braniac.
		Most of Hammond's TV work is aimed more at the teens and twenties audience, but this is solidly for the typical children's popular science age range.
		I was delighted that for once a children's science book didn't resort to describing atoms using the old planetary model - it's a shame no one told the illustrator, who still drew the old planet-and-satellites style pictures.

		I have to admit I didn't actually read Popular Science when I was growing up (I was raised in a Scientific American household, if you know what I mean), but it's a venerable publication dating back over a hundred years, and it's the largest circulation science-related magazine in the world.
		I happened to run into three boxes of Popular Science from the '60s and '70s at an auction once, and they are quite fascinating, with articles about such new wonders as the Ford Pinto and those fantastic giant Fresnel lenses you used to be able to get from Edmund Scientifics.

		In an opinion, U.S. District Judge John Jones ruled that teaching "intelligent design" would violate the Constitutional separation of church and state.
		"We have concluded that it is not [science], and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents," Jones writes in his opinion posted on the court's Web site.
