Galileo's Middle Finger

Join WISCAPE for a discussion with Alice Dreger, author of "Galileo’s Middle Finger: Heretics, Activists, and the Search for Justice in Science." The talk will explore the ways in which freedom of research is under assault from multiple fronts, including identity politics activism, the corporatization and branding of universities, and social media shaming campaigns. Dreger will use case studies to talk about the dangers researchers face and speak to how they can protect themselves.
