GEOFFREY SUPRAN
In science the vehmence and volume of your words are not accepted or even recognzied as aspects of ideas that should be considered, and though scientific arguments get very passionate, the kind of behavior that political adcocates and protestors demonstrate, is quite foreign to the professional culture. Yet, after the 2017 Election of Donald Trump to the Presidency a pattern of ignoring science in public policy making as accelerated and teh findign of scientific research was greatly diminished int the first Trump budget. So some scientists "took to the streets" to engage in political rallies and protests, and soon they were behaving like most other political protesters despite the fact that there were still a significant proportion of American scientists regard political protsting about science issues as unseemly and an inappropriate format or style of rational argument and discussion.
Geoffrey Supran, as an undergraduate, read physics at Trinity College at the University of Cambridge, obtaining a First Class Honours degree (B.A.) in Natural Sciences in 2009. From one Cambridge to another, he matriculated the same year as an MIT Energy Initiative Fellow at MIT, where he is now designing next-generation light-emitting devices based on nanoscale particles called quantum-dots. His work has been featured in journals such as Nature Photonics and Physical Review Letters. He is a member of the MIT Climate Change Conversation steering committee and serves as the MIT Science Policy Initiative’s Liaison to the newly founded MIT Environment Solutions Initiative. Geoffrey co-chaired the MARC 2012 MIT Annual Research Conference, and was nominated by former MIT President Susan Hockfield for the 2011 Academy of Achievement Summit.
