[Sci-tech-public] new film screening, "Merchants of Doubt"

[David Kaiser]

Hi, all,

As you know, this spring the STS Arthur Miller Lecture on Science and Ethics at MIT will be given on 5 May 2015 at 4pm by Prof. Naomi Oreskes of Harvard. Many of you are familiar with Naomi's book (co-authored with Erik Conway), Merchants of Doubt (2010). A new documentary film based on the book will be released this spring:

The Boston-area premiere of the film will be held at the Kendall Square cinema on Friday and Saturday, 20 and 21 March 2015. After the 7:30pm shows, Naomi will be doing a Q&A discussion with the audience members.

So if you just can't wait until Naomi's Miller Lecture in early May, check out the new film and her discussion next weekend (20-21 March) --

best,
Dave
