Backlash agaist science is nothing new..... I remember I was sometimes subject to jokes in school (>50 years ago) and even in my own family because of my interests in astronomy and science in general (it didn't last long, and I was not an easy target).
These days the problem is only more visible due to exposure via social media.
That is why programs like this one are important and very welcome - they present the scientists as normal people, "one of us"..
