- Description
- "The Forum," a series of audio podcasts by the Institute on Science for Global Policy (ISGP), summarizes debates between scientific experts and stakeholders over hot-button science policy topics such as food safety, infectious disease, and climate change. Using entertaining and engaging conversations, each episode puts you in-the-know regarding how these scientific issues pertain to your daily life without requiring you to break out your old college textbooks. The Forum is truly where today's science comes to socialize. (Disclaimer: The ISGP is a nonprofit organization that does not lobby for any position except rational thinking.
