Join the National Association of Scholars on Friday, November 24, at 10 am ET for "Restoring the Sciences: The Greenhouse Narrative."

"The science is settled!" "Fossil fuels endanger the planet!" "Why can’t everyone see it?"

But it’s not so obvious. The vast improbabilities inherent in climate are one chink in the greenhouse narrative. There is also the question of whether climate change poses an existential threat? If that narrative was wrong it would be fatal to the vast climate change coalition of government, politically favored industries, and the climate activist mob.

This event will feature Richard Lindzen, a Professor Emeritus at MIT’s Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences program. While at MIT, he was Alfred P Sloan Professor of Meteorology. He has published more than two hundred articles and books on the Earth’s systems of heat transport and distribution, and how these determine climate. He has for many years stood out as a distinguished “climate realist” which has earned him the long-standing epithet of “climate denier.” He is increasingly convinced that the climate narrative is wrong.

This event will be moderated by J. Scott Turner, the Director of the Diversity in the Sciences Project at the National Association of Scholars.

Join the National Association of Scholars on Thursday, November 28, at 2 pm ET for "The Birth of the Digital Age—The Microchip."

Decades ago, the computer was a massive object, something seen only by a rare few scientists. But thanks to the invention of the integrated circuit and the silicon microchip, smaller, more accessible technology became possible. This was the crucial first step to transforming computers into small, personal machines. How was the microchip invented? Who were some of the key players and what role did they play?

This event will feature T.R. Reid, lecturer, documentary film maker, and author of The Chip: How Two Americans Invented the Microchip and Launched a Revolution; David Laws, the Semiconductor Curator at the Computer History Museum and writer; and Luc Bauer, author of The Microchip Revolution: A brief history.

Join the National Association of Scholars on Friday, December 1, at 3 pm ET for "Finding Truth in the Postmodern University | Randy Wayne."

For many years, Randy Wayne of Cornell University has been fighting the good fight for truth against postmodernism: a creeping ideology that denies truth’s very existence. He, along with the Heterodox Academy Campus Community and the Cornell Free Speech Alliance, has been holding the Cornell administration’s feet to the fire, particularly over the administration’s argument that free expression is of equal value against the competing and incompatible values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. At stake is an existential question: what is the purpose of the university?

On March 24, 2023, Randy Wayne was our guest on Restoring the Sciences, where we discussed “Truth in the Postmodern University.”

This event will feature Randy Wayne, Associate Professor of Integrative Plant Science at Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. He is the recipient of the 2023 “Courage in Education”awarded by the Steamboat Institute of Colorado for his outspoken defense of free inquiry.
