Spoils of science? Frank von Hippel, Professor of Ecotoxicology at Northern Arizona University

George Bernard Shaw once said that science never solves a problem without creating ten more.

To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Frank von Hippel, Professor of Ecotoxicology at Northern Arizona University and author of The Chemical Age: How Chemists Fought Famine and Disease, Killed Millions and Changed Our Relationship with the Earth.
