Long Response:

1. The writer's stance on science is that the public should recognize it more, and use it for their benefits. Science can really do amazing things, but people are often scared of it, or unsure. That they need to have a more positive outlook on science and respect it better.

2. Paragraph 3 is where I found a direct statement from the writer about their opinion.

3. "Many people and institutions involved with scientific research acknowledge the seriousness of a poor public attitude towards science," is the statement that I believe relates to their stance in this subject. I think this relates to the subject because it mentions important figures involved in science feel this way, so it must be important.

4. The writers mentioned that science has allowed us to make amazing progress. Some facts to support this is when scientists have made remarkable advances in treating cancer and other diseases, when they guided a spacecraft 3 billion miles away to uncover mysteries about Pluto, and breaking the cold case of how our relative, Lucy, died 3.2 million years ago.

5. The writers concluded the piece by reminding the reader to support science. To acknowledge that the public needed to embrace science and it's goals to reap a benefit for all of us.

6. I think the writers' stance and opinion was well-written. But I think there could have been more facts put it, there was a lot of just.. telling us, the audience, what to think.

7. I don't really agree with their stance. I just don't see the problem that they see. The public, as far as I know, isn't really important to scientific advances. Most of the general public already respects science. If there was a major problem like they make it out to be, yes, I would agree and support their stance.
