This book is a compilation of essays from students coming from
countless backgrounds, many of which are historically
underrepresented in the Western academic practice of science. Each
chapter discusses language and cultural barriers to understanding
Western science, what is public engagement in science, and what are
ethical considerations scientists should make as people, whether
the lab coat is on or off. These perspectives diminish the
simplicity of making science "easy & fun" (hence our neologism,
"unsimplify") in order to engage the public and challenge
scientists, medical practitioners, journalists, and science
educators to think more critically about who makes up "the public"
that they serve.
