Radio Interview with Sheril Kirshenbaum: ScienceDebate.org [Greg Laden's Blog]
As you know, I recently interviewed Sheril Kirshenbaum (see “ScienceDebate.org: Interview with Sheril Kirshenbaum“) about ScienceDebate.org. On Sunday, June 14th, Sheril and I will chat about ScienceDebate, and possibly a few other topics, on Atheist Talk Radio. The details of that upcoming interview are here: “Science Debate in 2016!” Sheril Kirshenbaum on Atheists Talk #317, June 14, 2015. It is a live show, so you can call or email in your questions. Mike Haubrich will host the interview.
We don’t need our presidential candidates to be scientists, although many of us wouldn’t complain too much if it were so. We do need them to have an understanding of how important science must be in forming public policy and informing our leadership in resolving vital issues. ScienceDebate is a drive started by several scientists and science communicators in an attempt to hold at least one debate focusing on science in 2008’s presidential cycle. The demand is growing for a debate in the 2016 cycle, with more than 43000 signers. Sheril Kirshenbaum is the Executive Director of Science Debate and will be talking to Greg Laden about progress being made and prospects for finally putting science on the table as a topic for discussion in the election.
Here is one of Sheril’s Ted Talks:
