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

SUMMARY:Kate Zernike\, Author and Reporter for the New York Times "The Exceptions: The Fight for Women in Science"
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Harry Zernike\n“The Exceptions: The Fight for Women in Science” \nKate Zernike has been a reporter for The New York Times since 2000. She began as an education reporter and has worked in a wide range of positions across the newsroom\, including on the investigations desk\, in the Washington Bureau\, as a campaign reporter and a health care reporter. She was most recently the Times’ lead reporter covering the abortion debate leading up to and after the repeal of Roe v. Wade. She was a member of the team that won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for stories about al-Qaeda before and after the 9/11 terror attacks. She was previously a reporter for The Boston Globe\, where she broke the story of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s admission that it had discriminated against women on its faculty\, on which The Exceptions is based. \n \nNancy Hopkins\, a protege of the legendary scientist James Watson\, entered science in the 1960s believing it was a meritocracy for women who worked hard enough. Thirty years later\, she led a group of accomplished female scientists who prompted MIT to admit it had discriminated against them. The story of these trailblazing women\, and how it resonates today\, in science and beyond.
