About Chris Mooney (journalist)
Christopher Cole Mooney is an American journalist, professor at the University of Virginia and author of four books including The Republican War on Science (2005). Mooney's writing focuses on subjects such as climate change denialism and creationism in public schools, and he has been described as "one of the few journalists in the country who specialize in the now dangerous intersection of science and politics." In 2020 he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for a series of articles on global warming published in The Washington Post. In 2005 Mooney's first book, The Republican War on Science, was released. Mooney, Viskontas, and Isaak started a new podcast at Mother Jones, titled Inquiring Minds, and the first episode of the new podcast was released in September 2013. The framing science proposal created a large, often contentious debate within the online scientific blogging community, though research continues to study the influence of framing.
