You may have an opinion on climate change, evolution education, stem-cell research, and science funding. But do you have the facts to back up your opinion? This quiz will test your basic scientific literacy.

I can recommend Dawkin's latest book 'The Magic of reality' and Ben Goldacres books 'Bad Science' as entertaining ways to learn more about science and what we 'know'.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Magic-Reality-...42964920&sr=8-2 http://www.badscience.net/ If you'd rather have a more psychology based look at reality Richard Wiseman's 'Paranormality' is as entertaining as the title. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0230752...ASIN=0230752985 |
