Podcasts about shaughnessy naughton

Our guest this week is an expert in harnessing the voices of trusted scientific sources to spread vital health information. Action 314's Founder and President, Shaughnessy Naughton, sits down to discuss why electing scientific and health care experts to our government re-builds trust during turbulent times.

Today's guest hosts are Brent J. Cohen and Charlotte Hancock, Executive Director and Communications Director for Generation Progress. In the year 2020, you could be forgiven for thinking the debate on the existence of climate change is settled and over.  In a way, you’d be right—97 percent of scientists agree that climate change is happening and that human activity is responsible for it. But the disturbing truth is that there are still many people in our government—both in the executive branch of the current administration and in Congress—who deny the existence of climate change or the role that human activity plays in causing it.  This is incredibly dangerous since most experts agree that we have very limited time to act in order to mitigate the existing effects of climate change, and prevent climate change from continuing. Thankfully, young people across the political spectrum are overwhelmingly united on the need to take action on the climate crisis now—nearly three quarters of young people believe that climate change poses a significant threat to our planet (including 60% of self-identified Republicans). In recognition of this— Generation Progress will be relaunching their 'Get The Facts Out' campaign on July 23rd to expose people in power who continue to deny the reality of climate science. The website—which we encourage you all to visit at GetTheFactsOut.com—gives people the tools they need to identify climate deniers serving in government roles, debunk myths surrounding climate change, and voice opinions on the issue using GenProgress' 'click to tweet tool.' To talk with Brent and Charlotte more about why climate denial is dangerous and what must be done to push back against it, during this episode they’re joined by Jessica Loya, an environmental advocate and equitable policy strategist who has led the charge for the inclusion of Latinx community voices in climate, conservation, and water policy. They’re also joined by Shaughnessy Naughton, the President of '3.14 Action' and a former candidate for Congress in Pennsylvania.

Back in Episode 38, Quinn & Brian asked: Is it harder to build clean power plants or play in a reputable cover band? Our guest Sean Casten then went on to win the election for congressman of Brian’s home district, Illinois’ 6th! There’s a little more hope in the world, so we want to re-introduce you to these kickass STEM politicians.  Sean is a scientist, clean energy entrepreneur, and cover band member who ran against Peter Roskam, who called climate change “junk science,” which is really all we needed to hear to know that Sean is the right man for Illinois’’ 6th district. Plus, Sean is backed by our friends at 314 Action, an incredible group of people who are smarter than us trying to get other people who are smarter than us elected.

Back in Episode 37, Quinn & Brian asked: Why does Congress need a female Air Force Officer / Engineer / Chemistry Teacher / Mom among its ranks? We found out – and now our guest Chrissy Houlahan is the new congresswoman from Pennsylvania District 6! So we’re playing that episode again to celebrate. We dig into the very personal reasons she ran, what’s so special about Pennsylvania, and the first thing she’s going to do when she gets elected. Plus, how did she collect such an impressive list of bona fides? Chrissy was one of our featured conversations in partnership with 314 Action, an organization working hard to put STEM candidates in office.

Did you know that there is a distinct and valuable advantage to having more scientists running for office? When scientists step out and contribute to the political process, we get more people making policy decisions that value facts and evidence. During the midterm elections, ten new science-credentialed candidates were elected: one senator and nine members of the House. The current members of the 115th Congress include one physicist, one microbiologist, and one chemist, as well as eight engineers and one mathematician. The medical professions are slightly better represented, with three nurses and 15 doctors, as well as at least three veterinarians. Here to discuss the unique advantage of getting scientists elected to public office is Shaughnessy Naughton. Shaughnessy is an entrepreneur with a degree in chemistry and a passion for understanding the role of science in our everyday lives. With a background in research and drug discovery, Shaughnessy decided to get involved in politics because she is concerned about the future of science in the United States. What You’ll Hear On This Episode of When Science Speaks [0:43] Mark introduces his guest, Shaughnessy Naughton. [3:00] Why we need more politicians who value facts and evidence. [4:45] Is there a typical profile that 314 Action looks for in prospective candidates? [6:30] Should scientists and medical professionals, “Stay in their lane?” [9:00] Shaughnessy talks about her experience running for political office. [10:45] How are scientists uniquely positioned to operate in politics and policy-making? [12:45] What are the future plans for 314 Action? Connect with Shaughnessy Naughton Shaughnessy on Twitter Shaughnessy on Facebook 314 Action Fund website 314 Action on Twitter 314 Action on Facebook We should celebrate scientists running for office Recently the NRA told medical professionals that they need to, “Stay in their lane” and stop talking about gun control. Should professionals like scientists, engineers, and health care workers sit on the sidelines while policies are created? According to Shaughnessy Naughton, the answer is a resounding, “No!” Shaughnessy is passionate about energizing and mobilizing as many science professionals as possible into the work of politics and public policy, at all levels of government.  Shaughnessy is so passionate about getting these professionals into politics because she recognizes the value of having legislators who champion a robust trust in facts and evidence. One of the main reasons we have failed as a nation to tackle issues such as gun control, health care, and climate change can be traced back to the fact that we fail to heed the findings from scientists and researchers. Learn more about Shaughnessy’s efforts to get more scientists running for office by checking out the resource section at the end of this post. The unique advantage scientists bring to the table  Let’s face it, right now our politics are personality driven. What if there were a way to get away from the personality and ego of political disagreements and get down to the facts? Shaughnessy Naughton wants to see more scientists running for office to deflate the giant ego trip and get us back to facts and evidence-based policy decisions. While each person brings a different perspective to the table, scientists tend to take a more collaborative approach to making decisions.  Recognizing a severe deficit of scientists involved in politics, Shaughnessy launched her campaign back in 2014. After running a business for over a decade, she stepped up to run for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 8th District. With no prior political experience, other than phoning legislators and knocking on doors for campaigns, she faced an uphill battle. Ultimately, Shaughnessy was not successful, but she did receive a tremendous amount of support from the scientific community. In light of her experience running for office, Shaughnessy founded 314 Action to encourage and unite the scientific community to do more than advocate for science, and to get involved in the political process. To hear more about Shaughnessy’s valuable work with 314 Action, make sure to listen to this informative episode of When Science Speaks.

Robin on Trump vs. mourning military families, and the kilonova in the Hydra constellation. Guests: Shaughnessy Naughton on a new push to get scientists into political office; Judaline Cassidy discusses her passion for plumbing and for mentoring.

Among the topics we Short Coats often ruminate on is the lack of basic science literacy in the public and press...and among politicians. How did we get to this place when science is so mistrusted? So when Dave put out the call for co-hosts to talk with this week's guest, Kelsy Adler, Levi Endelman, Lisa Wehr, Marc Toral, and Laura Quast were only too happy to oblige. Shaughnessy Naughton is the founder of 314 Action, an organization that seeks to address dearth of science knowledge among politicians directly by encouraging and financing the election of people with STEM backgrounds to public office at all levels. Shaughnessy Naughton is the founder of 314 Action, which "champions electing more leaders to the U.S. Senate, House, State Executive and Legislative offices who come from STEM backgrounds." her organization seeks to change are politicians' active resistance to the acquisition of data on things like gun violence and climate change, and ignorance of the evidence that already exists on vaccinations and evolution. Among the challenges they face is the perception that science is above politics; the task of creating and financing a network of donors and supporters; understanding and effectively countering the politician's biases toward reflecting certainty instead of nuance. And they're addressing the need for training people of science to move beyond simple advocacy so that they can engage with the political process and change the system's anti-science biases from within.

In this week’s show, we’re talking about the growing movement to get more scientists to consider public office. Why do we need more scientists in office in the first place? Jacquelyn and Andy will talk with Shaughnessy Naughton, a chemist who ran for the House of Representatives in 2016. That experience inspired her to found 314 Action, an organization that helps scientists start campaigns. Jacquelyn will also talk about how she’s grappled with what it means to stand up for science in an era of alternative facts and outright attacks on America’s scientific infrastructure. For many in the scientific community, this is totally new territory.
