The discussion, “Defining and Protecting the Integrity of Science: New Challenges for the 21st Century,” will bring together leaders from the journal Science, academia, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Pacific Institute, and the AGU itself. These leaders will discuss their experiences with politically- and privately-motivated attacks, efforts to understand scientific integrity, and thoughts on the future relationship between science and policy making.
