Speaker

Al Scott (Honeywell)

Description

This talk focuses on the responsibility of scientists to counter pseudo-scientific ideas in society, and reviews the factors that have led to a rise in popular anti-science sentiment. I will provide insights into how to communicate the ideas of science with the public, and I will give some examples of important environmental issues that are most commonly misconstrued by the general public, from a pro-science EcoModernist perspective.
