Nicholas Christakis: Science Is Under Attack

May 1, 2026

Civilization runs on science. In this video we make the argument for protecting the commons: the shared institutions, funding, norms, and public trust that let discovery happen. The payoff isn’t just knowledge….it’s medicine, technology, and the infrastructure of modern life.

Dr. Nicholas Christakis is a leading voice at the intersection of science, society, and policy. His pioneering research on social networks, human behavior, and public health offers powerful insights into how ideas—and ideologies—spread. With a rare ability to translate complex science into compelling storytelling, Dr. Christakis equips audiences with the tools to navigate today’s most pressing challenges.
