American Association for the Advancement of Science / Chauncey Starr and other panel reports: hosted by Paul McIsaac.

Paul McIsaac hosts the third in a series of programs called “Science and the quality of life,” which is the theme chosen for this year’s Association for the Advancement of Science conference. In this program, WBAI’s Bonnie Bellow reports on the occupational health status of women, a panel which was held today at the Americana Hotel; Sam Julty, WBAI car person, talks about the panel he attended on the future of the car; Carol Lopate, an anthropologist who writes on housework and women, talks about the panel she sat in on, made up primarily of people who translate through the media, what’s happening in the world of science for laypeople. Then Bob and Eileen Zalisk will join the panel with Chauncey Starr, head of Utilities Research Institute, who delivered today’s public lecture called “Energy and societal development.”
