Glenn Branch to speak in Los Alamos on Friday, June 22nd

“Doubt and Denial as Challenges to, and in, Teaching Climate Change”

Glenn Branch, Deputy Director of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), will be speaking on Friday, June 22, 2018 at 7 p.m., in Fuller Lodge, Los Alamos, NM.
Sponsored by the Coalition for Excellence in Science and Math Education (cese.org)

Scientists overwhelmingly agree about the occurrence, causes, and consequences of climate change. But the public is not so sure. And science education is suffering as a result. Reviewing recent controversies over the place of climate science in state science standards and summarizing the results of a recent rigorous national survey of science teachers, Glenn will explain how doubt and denial about climate change are affecting science education.
