440: David Michaels | Dark Money and the Science of Deception

David Michaels (@drdavidmichaels) is an epidemiologist who served as the Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA from 2009 to 2017, Assistant Secretary of Energy for Environment, Safety, and Health from 1998 through January 2001, and is the author of The Triumph of Doubt: Dark Money and the Science of Deception.

  • How seemingly solid data can be used to mislead and distract us in the guise of fact.

  • And much more...
