Bench Talk | 'Science Will Not Be Silent' (Science & Trump) - December Sky | Dec. 2, 2024

The Union of Concerned Scientists (https://www.ucsusa.org/) is a non-profit, science-advocacy organization founded at MIT in 1969. Today, we feature a portion of their November 27th interview with Dr. Christopher Williams (political scientist) called 'Science Will Not Be Silent'. Its about how science policy might be affected by the upcoming Trump administration. Following that, Scott Miller tells us how to spot the stars, planets, constellations, and meteor showers we can see in the night sky in the month of December.
