Flavors of Uncertainty: The Difference between Denial and Debate

?Science, for various reasons, has become more politicized,? says Terry Devitt, director of research communications at the University of Wisconsin?Madison. ?Science, twenty years ago, used to have more cachet with the public, and that trust has been seriously eroded by coordinated attacks on science.? Devitt helped organize ?Science Writing in the Age of Denial Conference,? one of the first conferences focusing exclusively on science denial, which was held at the university 23?24 April 2012.
