175 The name LOHAFEX comes from “LOHA,” the Hindi word for iron, and “FEX,” an acronym derived from Fertilization Experiment. The lead scientists were nothing if not obscurely creative!

177 I may be slipping into hyperbole here, but over the years talking with colleagues, this is the movie that often comes out as most closely reflecting how they feel about science, and how it inspires them.
178 A lot has been written about how our cognitive biases and mental shortcuts affect what we believe and how we behave, including how we respond to information that jars with what we believe to be true. Two good starting points for beginning to explore this area are Daniel Kahneman’s 2013 book, “Thinking Fast and Slow” (published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux), and the 2017 US National Academy of Sciences report, “Communicating Science Effectively” (published by the National Academies Press), https://www.nap.edu/catalog/23674/communicating-science-effectively-a-research-agenda.
