Greetings folks, I've taught in the realm of energy, environment, and food systems for years. One of the biggest challenges I've faced is teaching students how to wade through the morass of often conflicting expert opinion, and a tool I've found extraordinarily useful for this is a framework offered by Roger Pielke Jr. in his book The Honest Broker: Making Sense of Science in Policy and Politics. Roger joined me to talk about this topic in the latest episode of my podcast A Worldview Apart. Perhaps not surprisingly, the politics and politicization of climate science came up. Folks can download and/or listen to the episode on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and on my website at the following link:
Episode 15: Roger Pielke Jr. on Science in Policy and Politics<http://ericgarza.info/episode-15/> Comments and feedback are welcome. I also invite folks to share the episode in their social networks. Finally, I'm trying to drum up some support for my podcast on the crowd funding website Patreon. Folks can sign on to support A Worldview Apart for as little as $1 per month by visiting my Patreon page<http://www.patreon.com/ericgarza> and creating an account, which just takes a minute. The first 100 patrons are usually the hardest to get, so I'd love some help reaching that milestone. All the best!
