Project Title
In support of the Carnegie Science Debates
Date

Duration
18 months
Description
Carnegie Science is an independent, nonprofit scientific research institution founded in 1902 by Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie Science proposes a new series of public debates that invites audiences inside one of the most important elements of science: disagreement. The series aims to build public trust by demonstrating that debate, skepticism, and the testing of competing ideas are essential to scientific progress. With support from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation, Carnegie Science will produce three live events at public venues in Washington, D.C., featuring moderated debates among scientists from Carnegie and other leading research institutions. The events will be filmed and developed into nine digital episodes, extending the series to broader audiences online.
