Link to Horizon: The president guide on science documentary
Documentary Description
Aired: September 16, 2008 on BBC 2 . Horizon asks some of the biggest
names in science to have a quiet word with the new president, be it
Obama or McCain, in the Presidents Guide to Science. The United States
president is quite simply the most powerful man on earth, but they
often know little about science. That's a problem when the decisions
they make will affect every one of us, from nuclear proliferation to
climate change. To help the new president get to grips with this
intimidating responsibility some of the world's leading scientists,
from Dawkins to Watson, share some crucial words of advice.
