Michael J. Thompson & Gregory R. Smulewicz-Zucker on science's role in a democracy (1/17/20) - a podcast by Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI Radio in New York

Michael J. Thompson and Gregory R. Smulewicz-Zucker’s book “Anti-Science and the Assault on Democracy: Defending Reason in a Free Society” features essays they edited on the role that science must play in democratic society—science defined not just in terms of technology but as a way of approaching problems and viewing the world. In this collection of original essays, experts in political science, the hard sciences, philosophy, history and other disciplines examine contemporary anti-science trends and make the case that respect for science is essential for a healthy democracy. Join us for a discussion of the role of science in society and why some citizens are so critical of it in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
