Podcast: Donald Prothero discusses the dangers of denying science

On this episode of the IU Press podcast, author and scientist Donald Prothero talks about his latest book Reality Check. He argues that science deniers pose a serious threat to society, as their attempts to subvert the truth have resulted in widespread scientific ignorance, increased risk of global catastrophes, and deaths due to the spread of diseases that could have been prevented.

If what you heard on the podcast makes you want to learn more about Prothero and his book, your next chance to see him in person will be July 11-14 when he appears at The Amazing Meeting, held in the Las Vegas South Point Hotel and Casino. Prothero will be speaking and selling copies of Reality Check during the event.
