Don't Trust the Scientists (2016) | Tim Flannery, Alok Jha, Natasha Mitchell & Lee Vinsel

from Festival of Dangerous Ideas

In our current state of the world, are scientists the new gods? Do we increasingly rely on science to solve our problems, and are we stretching the scientific method to mystique? If we can't trust scientists, is it possible to still trust science?   Tim Flannery is a scientist and one of Australia's leading writers on climate change. Alok Jha is the science correspondent for ITV News in the UK.  Natasha Mitchell is a multi-award winning journalist and presenter of flagship ABC Radio National programs. Lee Vinsel is an Assistant Professor of Science and Technology Studies at Stevens Institute of Technology.
