Is Science Science to Everybody? Understanding How People Understand Science with Michael Weisberg

Summary: The Global Cable is back for the new year with a conversation with Michael Weisberg, Professor and Chair of Philosophy at Penn, and our inaugural Penn Faculty Fellow.   He talks to us about the COP25 climate negotiations in Madrid; how a better understanding of science shapes public attitudes to major issues like climate change; why Charles Darwin inspires him; and whether we can still be optimistic about saving the world from the coming climate emergency.
