Abstract

Politics often dominates dicussions surrounding scientific topics and related technologies in the contemporary United States. The general public is interested in the opportunities science presents for the future, yet political polarization often alters the nature of public support for and interest in science. This relationship between science and politics poses meaningful challenges for communicating and advancing science in a crowded information environment. These challenges stem in part from the nature of the public's understanding of the scientific process and the conflict between individual values and scientific outcomes. Cognitive processing also plays a role in the communicatino of and acceptance of scientific findings, with many individuals rejecting informatino inconsistent with their prior beliefs. These issues are complex, not easiily solved and warrant consideration across all scientific fields of study.
