Caltech Y Science Policy Webinar
Science in a Political World: A Conversation with Dr. David Baltimore and Dr. France Córdova
Tuesday | December 15th | 4:00 - 5:15 PM PST | Via Zoom
Although the politicization of science has garnered global attention as we combat COVID-19, it is not a new phenomenon, or one that will fade anytime soon. From the introduction of heliocentrism in the 1600’s, the teaching of evolution in the early 1900’s, and the use of embryonic stem cells in research in the early 2000’s, to current disagreements over anthropogenic climate change and genetic modification, the interplay of science and politics has been, and will be, with us for years. Join us for a conversation on politics, science, and policy with two experts who have navigated the intersection of these worlds for much of their careers.
