Show Notes

Where do science and culture meet? The rise in popularity of science fiction has shaped popular culture as of late, but remains a source of controversy in society as a whole. This divide traces back to the days when religion, not necessarily evidence, ruled the day. Still, after all this time, science is treated as an evil by some as opposed to a basis of rational thought. Why? With how far we have come since the days of Galileo and DaVinci, why is science still treated with disdain or indifference by some? Hear the discussion between Gregory Benford and his colleague, UC Irvine Professor of Biology, Michael Rose, in the latest episode of the Free To Choose Media Podcast, Science and Culture.
