Randy Olson, Books, Science and Nature, Don't Be Such a Scientist, Second Edition: Talking Substance in an Age of Style, You think too much! You mother F@$#%&* think too much! You're nothing but an arrogant, pointy-headed intellectual - I want you out of my classroom and off the premises in five minutes or I'm calling the police and having you arrested for trespassing. - Hollywood acting teacher to Randy Olson, former scientist When Randy Olson first described his life-changing encounter with a Hollywood acting teacher in Don't Be Such a Scientist, it seemed like the world of science was on the cusp of gaining new respect in the public eye. Yet today, in everything from government funding cuts to climate change denial, science is under attack. It's more important than ever that scientists learn to connect meaningfully with the rest of the world. But is the American public ready to hear from scientists? And is the world of science ready for the American public? Enter Randy Olson. More than twenty years ago, Olson bid farewell to academia and shipped off to Hollywood ready to change the world. By making films like Flock of Dodos: The Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus and Sizzle: A Global Warming Comedy, and through workshops, consulting, and speaking, he has tried to bridge the cultural divide that has too often made science seem inaccessible for the average person. In Don't Be Such a Scientist, Randy recounts the lessons from his own hilarious-and at times humiliating-evolution from science professor to Hollywood filmmaker, sharing the secrets of talking substance in an age of style. The key, he argues, is to stay true to the facts while tapping into something more primordial, more irrational-and ultimately more human. Now, in this second edition of his provocative book, Olson builds upon the lessons and storytelling of Don't 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). Don't 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, Olson's writing will inspire readers to make science human-and to enjoy the ride along the way. .
