Speaker: Naomi Oreskes, University of California, San Diego, Department of History
Topic: Consensus in Science: How Do We Know We’re Not Wrong?
“Why do we study the historical development of scientific knowledge, methods, and practices? Find out why recent theories in the earth and environmental sciences present challenges to what constitutes scientific consensus and dissent, and how this conflict affects the public, particularly with respect to the issue of global warming.”
