Ars Technica:

For a host of issues, like vaccine safety, climate change, and GMO foods, public opinion is a poor match for our scientific standing. That dissonance has led a lot of people to ask how we could do better at getting scientific information out to the public. But the Pew Research Center decided to ask a related question that’s just as important: where’s the public getting its scientific information now?

The answer, disappointingly, is that most people in the US aren’t getting any scientific information at all.

While this study is on Americans, there’s no reason to believe other countries would do any better. Many of us seek out more information about our favorite sports team than we do science news.
