Description
Nobel Prize winner Sir Paul Nurse examines why
science appears to be under attack, and why public trust in key
scientific theories has been eroded – from the theory that man-made
climate change is warming our planet, to the safety of GM food, or that
HIV causes AIDS.
He interviews scientists and
campaigners from both sides of the climate change debate, and travels to
New York to meet Tony, who has HIV but doesn’t believe that that the
virus is responsible for AIDS.
This is a
passionate defence of the importance of scientific evidence and the
power of experiment, and a look at what scientists themselves need to do
to earn trust in controversial areas of science in the 21st century.
