Sense About Science is a charity formed in 2002 with the aim of promoting public understanding.

Sense About Science has been criticised by Malcolm Hooper for being pro-industry and refers to it as the "sister" to the Science Media Centre.[1]

Professor Simon Wessely previously served on the Sense About Science advisory council.[2]

Notable coverage[edit | edit source]

Sense About Science awards the John Maddox Prize annually to scientists who "promote sound science and evidence on a matter of public interest, facing difficulty or hostility in doing so".[3]. The 2012 award recipient was Professor Simon Wessely.[4]
