Don''t Be Such a Scientist, Second Edition: Talking Substance in an Age of Style

In Dont Be Such a Scientist, Randy Olson recounts the lessons from his own hilariousand at times humiliatingevolution from science professor to Hollywood filmmaker, sharing the secrets of talking substance in an age of style. The key, he argued, is to stay true to the facts while tapping into something more primordial, more irrationaland ultimately more human. Now, in this second edition of his provocative and groundbreaking book, Olson builds upon the lessons and storytelling of Dont Be Such a Scientist, providing an epilogue to each chapter for the current times, and adding a fresh introduction and new chapter on the importance of listening for science communicators (and beyond).

Dont Be Such a Scientist, Second Edition is a cutting and irreverent manual to speaking out and making your voice heard in an age of attacks on science.

Invaluable for anyone looking to break out of the boxes of academia or research, Olsons writing will inspire readers to make science humanand to enjoy the ride along the way.
