人们越来越需要培养公众对科学技术的理解。科学成果和技术产品继续塑造着我们社会的性质，并影响着具有世界意义的事件。然而，大多数人的日常生活和经历与科学技术的复杂性之间的鸿沟正在扩大。值得注意的是，很少有人熟悉他们的食物、药品、娱乐或服装所涉及的工业过程的细节。基础科学现象已经成为发明的原材料，不容易通过对自然的直接和独立的观察而获得，但它们是自然现象，对社会的一部分人来说，它们已经变得像蝴蝶或花一样迷人和美丽。
There is an increasing need to develop public understanding of science and technology. The fruits of science and the products of technology continue to shape the nature of our society and to influence events which have a world-wide significance. Yet the gulf between the daily lives and experience of most people and the complexity of science and technology is widening. Remarkably few individuals are familiar with the details of the industrial processes involved in their food, their medicine, their entertainment or their clothing. The phenomena of basic science which have become the raw material of invention are not easily accessible by the direct and unaided observation of nature yet they are natural phenomena which have, for one segment of society, become as intriguing and as beautiful as a butterfly or a flower.
