"Science for the Masses"

When I was younger and more 'edgy,' I spent a lot of time arguing science over social media and even at parties. I was known for getting into debates online and looking back I'm not overly proud of my approach. "Poppoing" the collective bubbles of the public masses isn't easy. Sometimes no matter how much data and peer-reviewed literature you show someone, their bubble is literally made of diamond. There are many approaches to reaching and educating the masses effectively, though. I used the "head in a bubble" theme for this concept, where the scientist's data is essentially the pin-prick.
