Michael Specter
Michael Specter (born 1955) is an American journalist who has been a staff writer, focusing on science and technology, and global public health at ''The New Yorker'' since September 1998. He has also written for ''The Washington Post'' and ''The New York Times''.
==Career==
Specter initially covered local news at ''The Washingon Post'' in 1985 but then became a national science reporter for the ''Post'' and finally the New York City bureau chief. In 1991, Specter transferred to the ''Times''. There, from 1994 to 1998, he was based in Moscow. In 1995, he was appointed co-chief of the Moscow bureau of the ''Times''. While in Russia, he covered stories such as the war in Chechnya, the 1996 Russian presidential elections, and the declining state of Russian health care. In 1998, he became a roving correspondent based in Rome covering topics as varied as Europe's demographic crisis, Michelangelo's Florentine Pietà, and the spread of AIDS in Africa.
His 2009 book, ''Denialism: How Irrational Thinking Hinders Scientific Progress, Harms the Planet, and Threatens Our Lives (ISBN 978-1594202308)'', explores the ways in which people in the United States and Europe have increasingly rejected scientific truths, backed by impressive datas. They instead are embracing what often seem to be more comfortable fictions about issues such as the value of organic food, vaccine safety, and personal genomics. He recently delivered a talk titled "The danger of science denial" at TED 2010.〔(TED talk 2010 )〕
At ''The New Yorker'', he has written about the global AIDS epidemic, avian influenza, malaria, scientific efforts to resurrect extinct viruses, synthetic biology, genetically modified food, efforts to mine the human genome to fight disease, and the world’s diminishing freshwater resources. He has also written profiles of many people, including Lance Armstrong, Richard Branson, the ethicist Peter Singer, P. Diddy, Manolo Blahnik, AIDS activist Larry Kramer, and Ingrid Newkirk (the highly controversial founder of PETA).
