We Spoke At The World Bank, Were In Washington Examiner, Big Think, And More Outreach

By Hank Campbell — June 25, 2018

1. Big Think interviewed Dr. Alex Berezow for their article Are there limits to the truths science can discover? The discussion ranged from defining evidence-based public policy to setting limits on what science should determine. 

2. In Washington Examiner, Dr. Josh Bloom and Henry Miller, MD, discussed Senator Dianne Feinstein's unscientific chemical scare bill.

3. I moderated a panel called  "The Challenge Between Critical Thinking and Emotional Decision Making “ at the World Bank. It was on agricultural issues with Professors Brandon McFadden, Stuart Smyth, Shelley McGuire, Mark McGuire, and Dr. Val Giddings. 

4. I'm on the advisory board for Atlantic Legal Foundation and at our dinner event I got to be the introductory speaker for Dr. Geoffrey Kabat, author of "Getting Risk Right." 

5. Free Beacon linked to our work on IARC. The US Congress has given the cancer statisticians some new scrutiny because of their penchant for scaremongering. 

6. Becker's Hospital Review linked to our work on physician burnout.

7. Sputnik took a break from linking to useful idiots in the environmental movement to criticize the Reagan administration about AIDS in 1982 under the guise of caring about public health, and they even linked to our work, maybe to show they are not just propping up activists.

A few reviews of Science Left Behind:

Wall Street Journal - “usefully revealing how pervasive scientific misinformation is in progressive arguments on organic and genetically modified foods, clean energy, nuclear waste and other matters.”

Scientific American - “...the left's sacred values seem fixated on the environment, leading to an almost religious fervor over the purity and sanctity of air, water and especially food. Try having a conversation with a liberal progressive about GMOs — genetically modified organisms — in which the words “Monsanto” and “profit” are not dropped like syllogistic bombs.”

Forbes - “on many of the most critical issues of our time, the “progressive” perspective is often rooted in out-dated, anti-empirical, junk science paradigms that threaten innovation—and are beginning to unnerve the most scientifically minded thinkers on the left."

Huntington News - "Groundbreaking…If I were teaching journalism, this is a book that I would require my students to read and absorb -- and keep for reference.”

Science Based Medicine - "pure music to the ears of science-based medicine. They agree that the anti-vaccine movement is based on outright lies, they call the Huffington Post a laughingstock of the scientific community for its endorsement of CAM, they call for the NCCAM to be abolished, [and] they explain why presenting data about relative risks rather than absolute risks is misleading."
