SUMMARY:Dr. Michael E. Mann\, Presidential Distinguished Professor of Earth & Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania "Science Under Siege"
DESCRIPTION:“Science Under Siege” \n Dr. Michael E. Mann is a Presidential Distinguished Professor of Earth & Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Mann is also a  recipient of the “Tyler Prize” which is sometimes called the Nobel Prize for the Environment.\n \nFrom pandemics to the climate crisis\, humanity faces tougher challenges than ever. Whether it’s the health of our people or the health of our planet\, we know we are on an unsustainable path. But our efforts to effectively tackle these existential crises are now hampered by a common threat: politically and ideologically motivated opposition to science. I discuss my collaboration with public health scientist Peter Hotez examining the five forces behind the modern-day anti-science movement\, informed by our decades of experience on the front lines of the battle to convey accurate\, reliable\, and trustworthy information about science in the face of determined and nihilistic opposition. I reveal the five main forces threatening science: plutocrats\, pros\, petrostates\, phonies\, and the press. It is a call to arms and a road map for dismantling the forces of anti-science\, empowering ourselves to promote scientific truths\, and shining light on channels of dark money\, dismantle the corporations poisoning the planet\, and ultimately avert disaster. \n*Release Date: September 9\, 2025\n \n
