Science affects the life every person on earth. From medicine to nutrition to communication to transportation, science has changed human life. And yet, there is increasing suspicion of science and scientists. This lack of understanding has motived the authors to write a short and approachable description of science and the people who do it.

In a multitude of ways, science affects the life of almost every person on earth. From medicine and nutrition to communication and transportation, the products of scientific research have changed human life. These changes have mostly taken place in the last two centuries, so rapidly that the average person is unable to keep informed. A consequence of this "information gap" has been the increasing suspicion of science and scientists. The lack of true understanding of science, especially of "fundamental" research, motivates this effort to narrow this gap by explaining scientific endeavor and the data-driven worldviews of scientists.
