Tim Jorgensen
The War on Science
PopTech, 2016
Aperçu
The “war on science” will end when scientists present their esoteric concepts to the masses in an accessible way.
Recommendation
Stephen Hawking’s 1988 book A Brief History of Time described esoteric scientific theories in an enlightening, entertaining way that captured the imaginations of the masses. Molecular radiation biologist Tim Jorgensen believes such a strategy is the only way to bridge the yawning divide between scientists and the general public. getAbstract recommends his anecdotal video to anyone interested in ending the exacerbating “war on science.”
