There is growing debate in the US about the true role of science. Scientists have for some years been complaining that their work has been ignored frequently by mainstream culture, and have called for greater public understanding of science. However, moving in this direction means that scientists lose full control of their work, and they must begin operating to a different set of rules. If they want greater public understanding, they must also accept more comment and criticism from non-scientists.

There is currently very strong public support for science in the UK. In particular, science books written for ordinary people have become very popular. One reason for this is the general increase in the popularity of non-fiction. Another reason is the influence of physicist Stephen Hawking through his book 'A Brief History of Time.' Ordinary people do not care for everything undertaken in the name of science, such as genetic modification of crops, but they do care for scientific effort in itself.

The imagery of DNA is now becoming very widely used in the UK. This is mainly because DNA has been imprinted in the public consciousness through the great success of molecular genetics in the second half of the 20th century. Not all developments associated with DNA have been unanimously welcomed, however. It is recognized that gene technology has many valuable forensic and medical applications, but there has been considerable controversy surrounding some agricultural uses of gene technology. It is important to avoid making DNA into a cultural icon.
