Both of you are correct. Views like "scientists are stuck in an ivory tower with no understanding of how "real" people live" is really damaging to science funding and science generally and it is patently false.

But just to clarify, there are people within science who are totally out of touch. There are patterns that are disturbing, like the same groups winning prizes over and over. There are people paid millions where 99% are paid thousands.

I think that one of the main messages we should convey is that the practice of science has little to do with mass-media, pop-science stars, controversy, public exposure and name shaming; >>

and that the methods of science do not clash with those of other rational sources of knowledge but rather are intimately linked.

Damn straight. Science is sexist, for example, but ideally shouldn't be.

Yes, and the science they produce is sexist too.

That's not science, they claim it is, which is not the same. It lacks understanding of other knowledge that should be taken into account and that is, deliberately or not, ignored! But I see your point.

I think it's tricky to say it's not science because most of science has been and is sexist, sadly.

I think we are talking about different aspects. If I am correct, you are referring to the "product" while I am referring to the "method". If I take your point of view, then I have to agree. Yes it is then extremely sexist!

Even the process can be sexist if its baggage and assumptions preclude women from joining.

Yes, the process can also be corrupted.
