How unscientific is America?

Saturday, August 22, 2009

Most recently, I wrote an article, in which I interviewed Chris Mooney--author of Unscientific America: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens Our Future.

Mooney and his co-author Sheril Kirshenbaum explore how America has changed--becoming a place much less into science than it should be in order to prepare for a hyper-scientific future.

They write: "Americans built the bomb, reached the moon, decoded the genome, and created the Internet. And yet today this country is also home to a populace that, to an alarming extent, ignores scientific advances or outright rejects scientific principles."
