Joanne Nova is an Australian writer and public speaker who specializes in the communication and presentation of scientific issues.[2] She adopted the stage name "Nova" in 1999, but didn't officially change from her original surname "Codling": she has since referred to Codling as her "maiden name".[3][4] She has done presentations on television, radio, stage and at exhibitions, and maintains a blog.[2][5]
Education
Nova received a Bachelor of Science first class and won the FH Faulding and the Swan Brewery prizes at the University of Western Australia. Her major was microbiology, molecular biology. Nova received a Graduate Certificate in Scientific Communication from the Australian National University in 1989,[6] and she did honours research in 1990,[7] investigating DNA markers for use in muscular dystrophy trials.[1]
Career
For three years Nova was an Associate Lecturer of Science Communication at Australian National University.[5] For four[6] years, Nova jointly co-ordinated[8] the Shell Questacon Science Circus, which operates all over Australia. Questacon is claimed to be the world's largest science education outreach program.[2][9]
From November 1999 to February 2000 Nova was the presenter for the Australian children's science television show Y?[5] and worked for a short period on Space Cadets, a science fiction show by Foxtel.[1] She has been a regular guest on ABC Radio as a science communicator,[10] giving over 200 interviews. She now manages the company Science Speak.[6]
Views on climate change
As a blogger Nova concentrates on disputing the existence of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) and also covers related topics such as Peter Spencer's hunger strike against New South Wales laws on combating climate change.[11] Nova had a five-part debate on AGW with Dr Andrew Glikson, first on Quadrant Online,[12] and continuing on her own blog.[13]
Writing on "The Drum", ABC's current affairs website, she said "Sceptics are fighting a billion dollar industry aligned with a trillion dollar trading scheme. Big Oil's supposed evil influence has been vastly outdone by Big Government, and even those taxpayer billions are trumped by Big-Banking". She pointed out that as well as funding sceptic organisations such as the Heartland Institute, Exxon Mobil had given to carbon-friendly initiatives such as $100 million to Stanford University's Global Climate and Energy Project, and $600 million for researching biofuels.[14]
Joanne Nova and her partner David Evan's web site sciencespeak.com[1] includes presentations and other documents which discuss corruption in climate science[15]. For example, the poor siting of many temperature measurement stations in the USA, and the alleged lack of effort to remove poor records from official data-sets, is presented as proof that the "Western Climate Establishment" is cheating.[15]
Publications
Nova has published a book called "Serious Science Party Tricks", which is aimed at children.
She is the author of a sixteen-page illustrated text called The Sceptics Hand Book. According to her website, unidentified donors had paid for over 100,000 copies of this document to be printed as at 2010, rising to 160,000 the following year. Total distribution including downloads from the internet was claimed to be over 200,000.[5][16] In 2009 Nova issued a sequel "Global Bullies Want Your Money".
