In eTown’s PurpleState Episode 3, host Nick Forster continues to address the subject of truth. Professor and evolutionary biologist Christy McCain talks with Nick about how the current political divisiveness in this country is based, in part, on a distrust of science. They also discuss the challenges scientists face in getting their data-based findings across to the general public in a way that both sides will hear.
