Free inquiry, open debate, and skeptical questioning are the cornerstones of healthy science. But does that describe science today?

Restoring the Sciences

Restoring the Sciences is a webinar series by the National Association of Scholars exploring how science works and digging into controversial topics within and between scientists that may affect public policy, health, and safety.

Free inquiry, open debate, and skeptical questioning are the cornerstones of healthy science. But does that describe science today? Arguably, no—those cornerstones are currently being eroded at universities and scientific institutions around the county.Can scientists pretend that science is immune to the ideologies that have conquered the humanities and are now sweeping through a broad range of disciplines in the science ecosystem? "No," says Dr. Lawrence Krauss. Science is imperiled, and without scientists standing up for core principles, the vibrancy of scientific discovery and scholarship is in danger of following the liberal arts to a post-truth future.Join the National Association of Scholars on Friday, December 8, at 3 pm ET for a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation in "Restoring the Sciences: Science Under Attack."This event will feature Lawrence Krauss, a cosmologist, theoretical physicist, author, and winner of numerous international awards for his scientific research and his writing. He is a passionate advocate of science, and for enlightening the public on the value of science to society, and the importance of defending science’s core principles. He is president of The Origins Project Foundation.
