Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and Professor of History of Science

Holton also has been encouraging scientists to become aware of what he and others see as growing antiscience attitudes in parts of academia, the media, and movements to delegitimize science.

A reader of THE SCIENTIST since its first issue, Holton says: "THE SCIENTIST offers the kind of in-depth, well-researched articles on topical problems in science and science policy to which other journals often don't give enough time or space."
