Trip Jennings

Trip Jennings is a journalist, music aficionado and happily married father of two. He spends most days behaving like a grown up, but occasionally he reverts to adolescence. Like that night in New Mexico when he tried to sleep under the stars during a camping trip only to freeze after the temperature dipped to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Or that time in Red Hook, Brooklyn, when he and his friends nearly closed down a bar. Or all those moments in the car when he's sung along to songs with his son and daughter. Being all grown up is cool. But enjoying life is more fun.

    Political science: why rejecting expertise has become a campaign strategy

    “To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy.” With that tweet, Jon Huntsman set himself apart from every other candidate in the Republican primary field….

    This is an interesting essay on the politics of science in 21st century U.S. The point Huntsman makes is an astute one, but it’s unclear how this willful resistance to science by some will affect elections, if at all.
