We respect, if not revere, scientists and their work in our society. We also do not entirely trust them. How's that again? Case in point: climate change... scientists demonstrate it, but some people reject it.
Oregon Humanities explores that situation and others in one of its Conversation Project programs, "In Science We Trust? The Role of Science in a Democracy."
Gail Wells is the program leader, bringing it to Selma later this week (May 13th). She visits The Exchange with a preview.
