Science and Public Thought

This course will develop important aspects of our physical understanding of the world, and then examine how they are understood in the context of public thought. Intersections between science, philosophy, religion, and politics will be examined, as well as how they are communicated between scientists and non-scientists. Specific topics such as climate change, the history of the universe, vaccinations, and others will be explored.
