141 - Not A Scientist

Our guest in this episode of the You Are Not So Smart Podcast is Dave Levitan, a science journalist with a new book titled: Not a Scientist: how politicians mistake, misrepresent, and utterly mangle science.In the book, Levitan takes us through 12 repeating patterns that politicians fall into when they mistake, misrepresent, and mangle science. Some are nefarious and intentional, some are based on ignorance, and some are just part of the normal business of politicians managing their public image or trying to appeal to their base.--- • Show Notes: www.youarenotsosmart.com-- • The Great Courses: www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/smart -- • Squarespace: www.squarespace.com CODE: SOSMART-- • One Fix: www.getonefix.com/YANSS CODE: YANSSPatreon: http://patreon.com/youarenotsosmart Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
