Speaking Science 2.0: Forty Floors Above Manhattan

Monday night we delivered our latest presentation of the Nisbet & Mooney Framing Science thesis at the new headquarters of the New York Academy of Sciences. Close to 150 people turned out for what proved to be a lively Q&A and reception that followed. The talk was covered by the Columbia Journalism Review and blogged about by John Horgan, author of End of Science. Over at our respective blogs, we have more details, including my reply to Horgan and Chris' reply to NASA scientist Gavin Schmidt, who was also in attendance.

Our next public presentation will be here in DC on June 19, 12:30 pm at the Center for American Progress. We are expecting another very large audience to be on hand!
