Debating Politics and Science: Science, News, Public Opinion and Policy

Debating Politics and Science: Science, News, Public Opinion and Policy

This class explores how the public consumes science and how scientific findings translate into policy.  Through issues like evolution, climate change, and vaccinations, we explore boundaries of scientific knowledge, challenges in science journalism, popular opinion, and policy challenges. What we know and how we know it lie in the balance.
