Interesting sessions, events planned for our conference at Stanford

 
"The War on Science" session Saturday, Oct. 17

  • The Earth is 10,000 years old. Vaccinations cause autism. Global warming isn't happening. Science would say otherwise to all of these. Yet millions of Americans aren't believing what science has provided. Why? Susan Goldberg, editor-in-chief of National Geographic Magazine and News, will moderate a discussion on today's "War on Science" and what journalists need to know about it.
