Media centre: vital to US science

摘要

In my view, Colin Macilwain's reservations over the challenges facing the planned US Science Media Center are overly pessimistic (Nature 483, 247; 2012). No one - least of all the members of an exploratory committee for such a centre in the United States (including myself) - would deny that real differences exist between Britain and the United States in our cultures, politics, science and media.
