Talk of Alaska: Scientific Integrity

Tue, September 25, 2007
Posted in Talk of Alaska

Climate warming and Endangered Species designations are both important issues for Alaska. Science is supposed to be informing the debate. But what if you can’t trust the science? A scientist at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) says his bosses tried to muzzle him when he spoke out about climate warming. And a high official in the Bush administration’s Interior Department resigned after she was accused of rewriting scientific reports she disagreed with.

Scientific integrity is the subject on today’s Talk of Alaska, from APRN.
