Dr. Anne Helen Toomey, Associate Professor of Environmental Studies and Science at Pace University, presents "Why Facts Don't Change Minds: Communicating Science for Real World Impact".
In her recent book "Science with Impact", Dr. Toomey argues that science today faces a public-relations crisis, and she calls for a whole-scale change in how scientists engage with the world. This talk will provide guidance for the scientific community and its allies to rebuild public interest in science during a time when who we are, and not what we do, is increasingly under fire. Please join us for this engaging installment of the ENST Earth Issues Seminar Series. Free pizza will be provided!
