Science has many secrets.  Not deep, dark, conspiratorial secrets, but practical secretes that are well-known to trained scientists yet not often revealed to the public.  Scientists like to project an aura of authority and calm, unbiased rationality, which might be in jeopardy if these "secrets" were widely appreciated.  This is especially true in a world where scientific proof is expected and where scientific arguments influence everyday life.   Uplook Magazine, January-February 2010, p.20.
