Chris Mooney: Science at High Speeds

Chris Mooney is Washington correspondent for Seed magazine, senior correspondent for The American Prospect, and author of the bestselling book The Republican War on Science, dubbed "a landmark in contemporary political reporting" by Salon.com and a "well-researched, closely argued and amply referenced indictment of the right wing's assault on science and scientists" by Scientific American. His second book, entitled Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming, has just been published by Harcourt Books. Library Journal writes that the book "brilliantly and compellingly explains the complex relationships among global warming, climate modeling, government science, and hurricane forecasting."

This event is part of the Caltech Y's Social Activism Speaker Series, which focuses attention on current social and political issues by inviting prominent activists to speak to the Caltech community and the public, and to share their experiences and perspectives.
