Join the National Association of Scholars either in person or in the virtual audience for "Rescuing Science: Restoring Science as Civic Virtue" on Tuesday, February 17, at 6 pm ET.
American science is in deep trouble, beset by multiple plagues including the irreproducibility crisis, doubts about academic integrity, turmoil over government funding, and a general erosion of public trust. It’s vital to our society, our prosperity, and our security that we reverse course and restore science to its potential and promise. But how? To rescue science, we need to understand how science got to its present state. Only then can we formulate a rescue plan.
Turner’s report outlines the historical background of science’s current crisis, and presents a series of recommendations for restoring the intellectual autonomy and freedom that is essential for what science provides to our culture.
This event will feature J. Scott Turner, NAS Director of Science Programs and report author; Terence Kealey, Chancellor Emeritus of the University of Buckingham (UK); Geoff Horsman, Associate Professor of Biology at Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada). This event will be moderated by Jason Locasale, an independent cancer researcher.
