The Leak

Politics, Activists, and Loss of Trust at Brookhaven National Laboratory

Beschreibung

"This is a story about the closure of a major US research instrument due to posturing politicians, fake facts, scientists untrained in public speaking, and a Federal bureaucracy unable to resist political pressure. The story foreshadows today's episodes of science denial, and offers insights for how to cope with it"--
