According to an investigation by Cabinet Office, 60% people in Japan are interested in news about science. In fact, the number of scientific news is increasing in the Japanese media.
However, I feel that most scientific articles in Japanese newspapers failed to introduce the scientific values to readers. They tend to have grandiose titles, obscure contents, and misleading comments about the practical use. It would be better to employ more scientist as newspaper writer.
In contrast to above investigation, I do not know the reason why scientists have ill-treated in Japan. Many postdoctoral fellows cannot get their job in either academic or business. They become part-time workers and are called "highly-educated working poor".
Does Ph.D mean "peon having doctorate"? Or, only a "pipette-handling device"? It is very curious for me.
