Getting Ready for the Yearly Kos Science Panel

Tomorrow I fly to Chicago, where I'll be speaking--for the second year in a row--on the Yearly Kos science panel. This time, my fellow speakers will be ScienceBlogs' Ed Brayton and Sean Carroll of Cosmic Variance. Scienceblogs' own Tara Smith will be chairing the panel. Tara is also heading up the Science Bloggers Caucus the previous day, which unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to attend due to travel conflicts ;<. At the YKos panel I will be talking about how, as the author of The Republican War on Science, I decided to write next about the murky hurricane-global warming battle--and what I think that battle can teach us about using science to shape policy decisions in the face of high levels of uncertainty well into the future.
