Philosophy Colloquium: Trusting Science by Matthew H. Slater (Bucknell University)

Abstract:

Many say that we are suffering from a crisis of a lack of trust in science in this country. In response, significant effort has been lavished on improving science communication—with the aim of promoting such trust. But it’s not always clear what “trust of science” ought to mean. Does “science” really deserve “our” trust? Why? Without compelling answers to these questions, we are rudderless when it comes to improving the relationship between science and the public. I will attempt to steer us in a better direction.

Please attend, and please encourage your colleagues, students, and friends to attend.
