Although the theory of evolution is widely accepted in science,
whether it comes to biology, medicine or psychology, public opinion
still holds some prejudices and imprecisions related to this
process. These are mainly caused by philosophical and religious
views of the world, but sometimes it amounts to an inaccurate
teaching of the theory of evolution or reflecting it in the media.
On the one hand, the cause may be the ignorance, but on the other
hand, there are certain misunderstandings. Some of it will be
discussed next.

"Science and journalism - friend or foe?" gathered at the
British Council's genuine friends of knowledge. They represent many
fields including media, IT, architecture, education, psychology,
theology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, linguistics
and climate. The story of the event continues now with the second
part, and this precedes the one dedicated to few of the email
questions and aspects addressed by friends of the Science
Newspaper.

Although we do not have instruments to measure the degree of
boredom or the properties of time, one thing is for certain: the
science cafe on the relationship between science and journalism
lasted two hours. Two times more than the initial planned
programme. The topics, the discussions between participants and
video dialogues with partners from UK, Greece and Romania seem to
have dilated time. In a pleasant way and for all those who were or
wished to be present at this event. That's because we have received
email requests from young researchers and science communicators
from abroad.

Scientists in the US used brain imaging techniques to localize
the areas in the human brain that are activated when thinking about
God and religion. The results suggest that specific
components of religious beliefs are mediated by known brain
networks. What techniques helped researchers to reach to this
conclusion and if we are close to an instrument for measuring
religious belief are just few of the questions discussed with
Dimitrios Kapogiannis, first author of research that was published
in PNAS.
