Event Description:

Chris Mooney: “The War on Science” – 7:00PM – Thursday, June 22 Chris Mooney, author of the bestselling “The Republican War on Science,” will present an evening lecture exposing the religious right’s dangerous assaults on science. Come hear how you can help counter attacks against stem cell research, evolution and sex education. This event is sponsored by the Texas Freedom Network (www.tfn.org) and is free and open to the public. Mooney’s lecture begins at 7:00 pm at Emerson Unitarian Church (1900 Bering Drive). Science has never been more crucial to deciding the political issues facing the country. On a broad array of issues, however, science and scientists have never had less influence with the federal government than today. Mooney’s lecture will tie together the disparate strands of the attack on science into a frightening account of our government’s increasing unwillingness to distinguish between legitimate research and ideologically driven pseudoscience.
