The food-for-thought menu includes: The Ozone Layer, Aristotle’s Public Philosophy, African Agency, George Kennan's Hierarchy, Church as a Powerless Centre, and Separation of School and State.
An eye-opening section, thank you (yes, it is perfectly possible to live and study in Greece and still don't get an even basic grasp of Aristotelian thought...).
Thanks, Mike! We learn about lay abstracts very late in our training as researchers. The system is too introverted—this academic laziness partly contributes to the misinformation bandwagon. Though science has progressed, the science of communicating it to everyone is still emerging from the dark ages.
Understood Vishnu, you are among the most sober scholars in these matters, and it shows. This "emergence from the dark ages" can also be traced to other research-heavy institutions, like central banks. Once the temples of ambivalence, they now engage in lay communication with non-technical summaries, synopses, interviews and blog posts. The results remain mixed, jargon is there and context - often - is not, but still, it is something.
