Why should scientists communicate their work to the public?

14 Sep 2016

Scientists have a responsibility to share the findings of their research with the general public. That is the message of Andrea Morello from the University of New South Wales, Australia, in this video from our 100 Second Science series. Morello, who is a quantum computing researcher, believes that is especially the case in situations where scientists are in receipt of public funds. Regarding his own field, Morello believes that quantum-based technologies are bringing a golden opportunity to debunk the idea that quantum mechanics is just a strange esoteric field with no real applications.
