Just watched a smart, persuasive interview with @michaelemann.bsky.social & @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social on US media.

They were asked if “naming names” about liars & their motivations risks coming across as “partisan.”

I think about that a lot as I do similar things in the city-building arena. 1/2

'Mann, whose book Science Under Siege with co-author Peter Hotez was published last month, urged scientists in the US to speak out against the political pressures on research and higher education, even if there is a risk to their careers'.

“Petrostates, polluters, politicians”, or “plutocrats, pros, propagandists” and sometimes also “the press”; there is no lack of aliterations when it comes to Michael E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez new book “Science Under Siege: How To Fight The Five Most Powerful Forces That Threaten Our World”.

"Book review: Exposing the forces behind anti-science aggression" | Great review by @philippmarkolin.bsky.social of my new book w/ @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social, #ScienceUnderSiege: www.protagonist-science.com/p/book-revie...

Book review: Exposing the forces behind anti-science aggression

“Science Under Siege,” by Michael E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez, is a plain-spoken, naming-names, rallying cry for protectors of science to not go quietly into the night.
