Abstract
The Department of Science and Technology (DST) released a draft Science Engagement Framework for comment. But before embarking on a science engagement strategy, it is important to know what the public already knows and feels about aspects of science. Sylvia Hannan, Vijay Reddy and Andrea Juan report on the public's responses as gleaned from the South African Social Attitudes Survey (SASAS).-
