SUMMARY:'The science of when science doesn’t matter—and what we can do about it' - John.Hagan
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Auditorium\, 12:30-2 PM\, Fri\, March 6 \nJohn’s description of his talk: \n“Scientists think of science as being the source of truth. But statistical significance is not the same as social significance. Society has to assign value to something before science can be put to use. Sometimes\, the science we produce is simply irrelevant to what society values. In some cases\, more science can make problems even worse. A growing body of social psychology literature in the last decade helps explain why we all react to science differently. In this talk\, John Hagan describes why society reacts so differently to the same set of facts\, and what we can do to overcome this problem.” \nDr. John Hagan is the founder\, President\, and CEO of Our Climate Common\, a non-profit organization focused on building bridges across cultural and political divides to address climate change. An ecologist with a Ph.D.\, Hagan focuses on practical\, science-based solutions.
