my experience has been...
1% of the people really like science
1% don't mind listening to science and can actually learn something
1% will listen but retain nothing
now for the gender split...
50% of the males in the remaining 97% are thinking about what the are going to eat for
dinner and the remaining 50% are wondering who they are going to sleep with next
50% of the females in the remaining 97% are thinking about their makeup and the remaining
50% are trying to reduce, change, enlarge their physical appearance.
