Skepticality #077 - Don't Be Such a Scientist! - Interview: Dr. Randy Olson
Date: 05/13/2008 Over the past several episodes, Skepticality has interviewed some of the??notable scientists featured in the new pro-Intelligent Design documentary??Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.?? This week, the last word on the??controversy goes to Dr. Randy Olson, the??biologist-turned-filmmaker whose 2006 documentary Flock of Dodos: The??Evolution ?? Intelligent Design Circus??examined the communication breakdown??between the science community and the rest of the world on the subject of evolution. ?? Dr. Olson strives to improve the reputation of??science in the court of public opinion, where the Religious Right and Intelligent Design movements continue to wedge their way in by "teaching??the controversy."????On his "Shifting Baselines" blog, Dr. Olson was one of??the first scientists to express concern that the well-funded??Expelled??was likely to succeed in selling its message to a tremendous number of people. The "dodos" of the??blogosphere responded with incredulity.???? At the request of many skepticality??listeners, we're pleased to feature this week's interview with Dr. Olson about his controversial opinions ?? and??about his new film,??Sizzle: A Global Warming Comedy.
