Webinar: How to talk to a Science Denier

The Kresge Foundation and ELPH National Program Office are hosting a webinar by Dr. Lee McIntyre, author of the recent book How to Talk to a Science Denier. The webinar will be held on January 18 at 11:00 am ET. Register here. Drawing on his own experience and academic research, McIntyre outlines the common themes of science denialism, present in misinformation campaigns ranging from tobacco companies' denial in the 1950s that smoking causes lung cancer to today's anti-vaxxers. He describes attempts to use his persuasive powers as a philosopher to convert Flat Earthers; surprising discussions with coal miners; and conversations with a scientist friend about genetically modified organisms in food.
