Abstract
Johns Hopkins University graduate biology student Mark H. Paalman says that researchers starting out on their careers are facing a bitterly ironic pair of roadblocks: general science illiteracy and mistrust on the part of the population, undermining popular support for their work ; and unchecked production of Ph.D. scientists into a system that is a lready oversupplied.
