I think actual science is better than "bright colored tadpoles taste bad"?Maybe real stuff like how genetically altered rice, wheat and corn/ maisehas made possible the current level of population?Or how the sunspot cycle is at a minimum right nowthat hasn't occurred since 1600?Packaging freaks, horrors and scientist in the same rapper seems likesaying all geniuses are mad or nearly so? It just isn't true.Counterproductive is probably the word: kids like dinosaurs and bugsnot Dr. Frankenstein and his monster.Most scientists are ordinary people who are a little smarter anda little more interested in the world around them.Improving children's trust of science and scientists is probablybetter than making them afraid?
