John Holdren was President Obama\u2019s senior advisor on science and technology for eight years. In this conversation with producer Mike Osborne, Holdren discusses Obama\u2019s passion for science and its role in all aspects of American life. He also tells us what it\u2019s like to testify in front of Congress, which he calls \u201cpi\xf1ata day\u201d (it sounds fun...until you realize he\u2019s the pi\xf1ata). Mike and John end by discussing the future of science and environmental policy under the Trump administration.
