Folk festival of science

WHS Zurich announces the Science et Cité festival with witty experimentsThe good of society is the object of science, but the layman has mixed feelings. Instead of trusting science, they criticize certain of its goals and deny the power of its knowledge. Now, at the first Science et Cité festival, at which science will be seeking an encounter with the population in Switzerland from May 4 to 11, a change in this latently tense relationship is in the offing. The festival, organized by the Science et Cité Foundation, is being heralded by a campaign from WHS Zurich, which is already beginning to harmonize the dissonant situation with humour. page 14
