Dr. Lee McIntyre, a prominent scholar, and Ethics Instructor at Harvard Extension School, is dedicated to promoting scientific reasoning in an era marked by science denial. Author of "How to Talk to a Science Denier" (MIT Press, 2021), he equips the public with tools to engage constructively with science deniers.
