DESCRIPTION:Some suggest that science is the closest one can get to truth\,
 \nwhile others point to it as simply a subjective activity. So how do\nwe 
 access the knowledge that science is supposed to provide us\nwith? Is info
 rmation lost between scientists and the public? How do\nwe use this knowle
 dge to understand our interactions with the\nnatural world in our everyday
  lives? Can we use the resources and\nunderstanding of the scientific worl
 d to make a significant impact\non the greater good?\nGuest:\n\nDavid M. S
 ecko is an assistant professor at Concordia’s Department\nof Journalism. H

 ut science. Now at Concordia\nUniversity\, he is working to give journalis
