In the last century science has taken an enormous leap from an occupation solely limited to the academic community to something that a large part of the population is exposed to in all aspects of life, from school through social media and TV to our supermarkets. This exposure, while highly beneficial to the progress of scientific research, can also lead to high amounts of misinformation and fear in the public due to unawareness. As researchers we see the importance of education and an open dialog on the benefits of science as a tool to combat these issues.
