Is it just me, or does anyone else think scientific achievements should be in the media more often?

We have award shows for music and movies that are marketed everywhere, so why not achievements in science, medicine, astronomy, sociology etc?

If an award show is “too much”, why not an entire show that covers these things around the world? We have shows where people review internet videos of people falling. Disregarding having to check science websites, it seems the only time you hear of these things is when a kid invents a chocolate powered car, found in small link on CNN.

What do you think, Fluther?
