Are scientific findings a matter of opinion? Forty-three per cent of Canadians agree that they are, suggests a new poll. The Ontario Science Centre commissioned the survey on Canadians' attitudes toward science for Science Literacy Week, Sept. 18-24. 68 per cent agree that media coverage of scientific issues is "reported selectively to support news media objectives." The poll suggests that Canadians may not have a good understanding of how science works.
