I have an article on science and politics in the current issue of the Harvard International Review. You can access a copy here in PDF. Here is an excerpt:

We have choices in how experts relate to decisionmakers. Whether we are taking our children to the doctor or using science to inform policies, better decisions will be made more often if we pay attention to the role of expertise in decision-making and the different forms that it can take.
Striving for better decisions, rather than trying to separate science and politics, is the best method for dealing with the challenges of the politicization of science.

For regular Prometheus readers there won’t be much new, but for others maybe so.
