Jed,
On several occasions you have opined that people in the CF field have
done a poor job of PR. Please explain how this can be done better.
Remember, this is science, not selling soap. Only certain methods are
acceptable without making the claims look like a scam, which other
promoters have done, much to their discredit
Science requires claims be published. This has been done and attempts
are regularly made to reach a wider audience. Science requires the
work be replicated. This has been done. In addition, contact has been
made with the Media and with the general scientific profession by
giving talks at regular APS and ACS meetings. Contact has also been
made with the government. Success of these efforts depends on the
willingness of the listener to accept the information.
Until the effect can be explained in a way that is acceptable to a
normal scientist and the effect can be made so reproducible that any
competent person can demonstrate its reality, getting people to listen
will be very difficult. Nevertheless, how would you suggest the field
be better promoted?
