How People Use the Internet to Learn about Science
When I saw this Pew Internet report about how people use the Internet to find science news in Garrett’s weekly e-mail, I knew I had to flag it. The majority of the time I spend on one single task is working on a Web site about research at the university. We’re always thinking about how people use our sites to find scientific information.
Pew’s summary:
"Fully 87% of online users have at one time used the internet to carry out research on a scientific topic or concept and 40 million adults use the internet as their primary source of news and information about science."
