SCIENCE CALL : science on the line
Throughout the week, which ran from 4th to 10th November 2002, a series of short articles on scientific issues that affect us all have been published in the national newspapers of each country. The articles highlighted the range of scientific opinion surrounding topics such as cloning, climate change and energy production and encourage readers to find out more. Readers and their friends had the opportunity to phone the Science Call helpline based in their country to explore the issues in more detail by talking to scientists who were expert in that topic. The helplines were set up by VDI/VDE-IT in Germany, Science Contact in France and Science Line in UK. All three organizations are working closely with the print media in their own countries.
