Very Grubby.... I came across a pointer to a talk by Michael Crichton that was given at the American Enterprise Institute. It is being broadcast again today on CSPAN2 Book TV at 3:30. I highly recommend it. Dr Crichton also give suggestions on how to address the perversion of truth that is occurring in science based policies. But one can also find the transcript in pdf. A streaming video and more about this talk at aei-brookings.org Science Policy in the 21st Century Debates on scientific issues from genetically modified organisms to climate change have been intense, especially when data are scarce or difficult to interpret. As a society we have trouble resolving these debates in part because the issues are politicized and in part because we lack objective procedures for setting policies based on sound science. Since we can expect many more such controversies in the twenty-first century, it makes sense to consider new mechanisms and institutions that could reduce controversy and lead to more effective policies. At this Joint Center conference, renowned author Michael Crichton will discuss these issues, which are an integral part of his new book, State of Fear.
