Michael King Memorial Lecture: science and doubt
July 20, 2011, 7:06 p.m.
"Doubt is our product," ran the infamous memo written by one tobacco industry executive in 1969, "since it is the best means of competing with the 'body of fact' that exists in the minds of the general public." There's no denying "doubt" is crucial to science and drives it forward, but it also makes science, and scientists, vulnerable to misrepresentation, according to Naomi Oreskes, Professor of History and Science Studies at the University of California, San Diego. Oreskes co-wrote Merchants of Doubt with Erik Conway: an important and absorbing history of a group of high-level US scientists and advisers with deep connections in politics and industry. The same individuals surface repeatedly: claiming that the science of global warming is ânot settledâ, denying the truth of studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. Naomi Oreskes gave the Michael King Memorial Lecture, with an introduction by the Science Editor of the New York Times Barbara Strauch.

July 19, 2011, 11:32 p.m.
What are you wearing right now? Tube socks from China? A Patagonia fleece? A pair of pants made from hemp? Most people probably donât think that much about the social and environmental impact of our clothing choices. But our guest this week on Sea Change Radio, Natalia Allen, believes that you donât have to be wearing a tee-shirt with a slogan to make a statement with your clothes. Sheâs been called an âconscientious fashionistaâ who not only promotes more responsible consumer behavior, encouraging us all to think about the environmental and human costs of cheap clothing and textiles, sheâs actually producing clothing and accessories that give consumers a stylish set of alternatives. Sea Change Radio host Alex Wise talks with Natalia Allen about making fashion more sustainable, and sustainability more fashionable.

Dorothy Goldin Rosenberg, PhD is amazing. She is a member of the faculty of the University of Toronto. She is amazing. She is a founding member of Prevent Cancer Now, a leading Canadian cancer prevention organization. She is a film maker with a very impressive number of titles to her credit. She is an excellent communicator. She radiates a wonderful good vibe.
I have had the great good fortune of speaking with her for a
considerable quantity of time. The result of receiving her guidance on the subjects of uranium, radionuclides, ionizing radiation, nuclear reactors, routine releases to the environment and disease risk imposed by exposures to radioactive pollutants is transformative. She has given me the gift of being now able to take part in advocacy for the elimination of nuclear power facilities throughout the world.
If you have been stopped in your tracks by Fukushima, you are ready to listen carefully to what Dorothy has to say. If you have not stopped to think about the Fukushima disaster, please do it now and then listen to this powerful interview.
Thank you, Dorothy.
