Exploiting scientific illiteracy THE PEW APPROACH to polling described above is reminiscent of that used by the Idaho junior high school student Nathan Zohner, who found that 8 6 percent of survey respondents thought the substance "dihydrogen monoxide" should be banned when they were told that prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage, exposure to its gaseous form causes severe burns, and it has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.\n It is no coincidence, according to Taverne, that eco-fundamentalists are strongly represented in anti-globalization and anti-capitalism demonstrations around the world.

Evidence from academic studies and national-level policy reports suggests that university-industry relationships are now widely practiced in many countries and increasing in importance. University innovation centers (UICs) offer one mechanism for managing these relationships. UICs are an instrument to mobilize a critical mass of researchers to build new technology platforms and enable the corporate partner to explore new business opportunities, a process that requires work on new business models to be carried out in parallel with technological research. As an example, the paper analyzes the partnership between agribusiness Syngenta AG and the University of Manchester (UK) to establish a UIC focused on the introduction of sensors and informatics into agriculture ("agri-electronics").
