Description:

How scientists write, and how their writing is read. Students with interests in the natural and social sciences are welcome, but no special background knowledge or expertise is required. Class work will include readings of scientific texts, including popularizations and science fiction; analysis of new forms such as scientific web sites; and possibly visits to science museums and workshops. The aim is to learn something about scientific literacy, and why so few people think they have it.
