		One highlight of the conference was the lecture given by Sir Harold Kroto, best known as the co-discoverer of "fullerenes," or the C60 molecules, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
		Kroto believes that the attitudes of politicians, students and the media towards science are shaping a society in which a lack of scientific knowledge could potentially lead to disastrous consequences for both humanity and Earth.
		Kroto also cited the media’s lack of scientific knowledge in references to the use of radio telescopes as "radio astrology," and the continuing portrayal of scientists as eccentric loners wreaking havoc with natural forces.
