In more than 50 pages of new material, Olson brings his pioneering message to this new age, providing tools for speaking out in anti-science era and squaring off against members of the scientific establishment who resist needed change.
In Don\'t Be Such a Scientist, Second Edition , Olson renews his call for communication that stays true to the facts while tapping into something more primordial, more irrational, and ultimately more human.
The time is right for a new edition of Olson\'s revolutionary work.
And while communicating science is more crucial than ever, the scientific community still struggles to connect with everyday people.
Yet today, in everything from government funding cuts to climate change denial, science is under attack.
Through his writing, speaking, and films, Olson challenged scientists to toss out jargon in favor of a more human approach, bringing Hollywood lessons to the scientific community.
