इस एपिसोड के बारे में
I've worked on anti-censorship policies for several years. So amidst a rolling debate about free speech and free inquiry, I wanted to focus some attention back on government censorship of science related to COVID-19. After all, this is a life and death issue for millions of people. My old colleague Dr. Gretchen Goldman joins me for this discussion. She's the research director for the Center for Science & Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists and she's studied how censorship happens, how scientists can respond to threats of being censored, fired and reassigned, and the effect that censorship has on public policy.
You can follow Dr. Goldman on Twitter and sign up for the organization's actions and resources here. Anyone can join, but if you're a scientist, please consider joining UCS's Science Network, too.
