Then we have the director of science and Society Research at the pm resort center and she offers reports about the public trust in science including views ranging from energy and climate to vaccines and gene and last but not least we have jeff from usc l. A. , hes a sociologist, he said he is why people care about what they care about and how moral concern relates to issues of science and religion, and went to john brian we are gathered this week during the anniversary of humankinds scientific achievements, you cant escape, the apollo moo

I thought that was a powerful way of thinking about it in part bec
Its kind in the entire world. Right now some of our scientists are getting ready to start their working day. Were going to do some Field Research and thats when we leave the village we have to take our rifles there because of the polar bears. Here there are more bears on fall bar than people who get about 3000 are you know sort of a simple hit if they have tack it can be life threatening we have to be ready as was limbs of heart. Research station manager. And meteorologist marion ma to really face this sort of danger every day. Most of the research thats done here focuses on the local environment particularly the climate. More than 60 percent of the archipelago is covered by glass yes the scientists observe and record any changes in this pristine arctic environment. These data can then be applied to the north polar region and the rest of the world.

Right now some of our scientists are getting ready to start their working day. But you know were going to do some field research. And thats when we leave the village we have to take our rifles in because of the polar bears. Here there are more bears on fall apart than people who get about 3000 of their sort of ascent to fit if they have tack it can be life threatening we have to be ready as. Our. Research station manager have skied and meteorologist marion ma to really face this sort of danger every day. Most of the research thats done here focuses on the local environment particularly the climate. More than 60 percent of the archipelago is covered by glaziers the scientists observe and record any changes in this pristine arctic environment. This data can then be applied to the north pole region and the rest of the world. Shorter and merriam have left the village and will now head out into the wild but 1st if you want to load the rifle with 4 cartridges just to be on the safe side. The
We do not serve were going to do some Field Research just off the lesson that when we leave the village we have to take our rifles because of the polar bears you know here there are more bears on fall bar than people who get about 3000 are there sort of a simple affair if they attack it can be life threatening we have to be ready as limbs of heart. Research station manager have skied and meteorologist marion ma to really face this sort of danger every day. Most of the research thats done here focuses on the local environment particularly the climate. More than 60 percent of the on. Capella ago is covered by. The scientists observe and record any changes in this pristine arctic environment. This data can then be applied to the north pole region and the rest of the world. Shorter and merriam have left the village and will now head out into the wild but 1st beyond to loads the rifle with 4 cartridges just to be on the safe side. Then the scientists move into polar bear territory there on
