About The Intersection

The Intersection is where science collides with life, slams into culture, crashes with politics, and gets totaled. Edited by Chris Mooney, The Intersection blog has for nearly 10 years brought insightful and hard-hitting analysis of the intersection between science, politics, and culture.

Chris is a science and political journalist and the author of three books, including the New York Times bestselling Storm World, and Unscientific America: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens Our Future, co-authored by Sheril Kirshenbaum.
