[MIT.WORLD]

Hello Friends of MIT World,

The MIT Western Hemisphere Project presents

"Investigating the Bush Administration's Misuse of Science"

Kevin Knobloch
President of the Union of Concerned Scientists

Respondents:  Philip Morrison Institute Professor and Professor of 
Physics, Emeritus, MIT
                         E.O. Wilson Pellegrino University Professor, 
Emeritus, Harvard University

Hear first hand from Knobloch about this controversy that has been 
circulating in more than the 24 hour news cycle.  Respondent Morrison 
stresses the need for accurate scientific information, and Wilson 
makes the case that "science is not an ideology".

This event is presented in association with the MIT Student Pugwash, 
the Technology and Culture Forum and the Program in Human Rights and 
Justice.
