DESCRIPTION:        A Forum and Discussion  The Attack on Scientific Thinking and Why 
 We Must Defend Science:  In the United States today science, as science, is 
 under attack as never before. The attacks are coming at a accelerating pace 
 and includes frequent interventions by powerful forces, in and out of the 
 Bush Administration, who seem all too willing to deny scientific truth, 
 disrupt scientific investigations, block scientific progress, undermine 
 scientific education, and sacrifice the very integrity of the scientific 
 process itself.  Panelists include:  Kevin Padian – Professor of 
 Integrative Biology and curator of the Museum of Paleontology at UC 
 Berkeley, President of the National Center Museum of Paleontology at UC 
 Berkeley, President of the National Center for Science Education   Phil 
 Plait – NASA Education Resource Director (NERD) in the department of 
 Physics and Astronomy at Sonoma State University. He is the creator of the 
 website, http://badastronomy .com, where he fights myths and misconceptions 
 people have about astronomy.   Dennis Baldocchi – Professor of 
 Biometeorology, Berkeley Atmospheric Science Center at UC Berkeley   
 Stephen Palumbi – Professor of Biological Sciences and Senior Fellow at 
 the Stanford Institute for the Environment   Michael G. Hadfield, panel 
 moderator – Professor of Zoology and Director of the Kewalo Marine 
 Laboratory at the University of Hawaii.  Defend Science! recognizes the 
 serious danger posed to society and humanity if the attacks on science are 
 not defeated. We aim to rally a broad movement to defend science and 
 scientific thinking. Please read and circulate the Defend Science Statement 
 (http://defendscience .org), help us print it in newspapers from the USA 
 Today to the Kansas City Star and join with us in waging this urgent 
 battle.  Hosted by the Berkeley student chapter of Defend Science!
