About Ardea Skybreak

October 14, 2013 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

The following biography is taken from Ardea Skybreak's book The Science of Evolution and the Myth of Creationism: Knowing What's Real and Why It Matters.

Ardea Skybreak was formally trained as a biologist specializing in evolutionary biology and community ecology. She is committed to broadly popularizing science and the scientific method. Skybreak feels strongly that when people are deprived of a scientific approach to reality, they are robbed of both a full appreciation of the beauty and richness of the natural world and the means to really understand the dynamics of change in nature and society.

Skybreak comes from a cosmopolitan background and has traveled extensively and interacted with people of many different cultures. From a very early age, she was encouraged to become a critical thinker and systematically trained as an intellectual in the European tradition. This fueled a wide and diverse range of interests and passions in a great many spheres of both arts and sciences.

On the Importance of Science and the Application of Science to Society, the New Synthesis of Communism and the Leadership of Bob Avakian

An Interview with Ardea Skybreak

At a time when science–from the theory of evolution to the understanding of climate change–is under attack; when efforts are underway to muzzle scientists and suppress their work; when a barrage of “alternative facts” (lies) of all manner are being promoted with impunity as a substitute for the truth; and when blind obedience is being imposed in opposition to critical thinking–all of which has disastrous implications– this provocative interview with Ardea Skybreak is highly relevant and assumes great urgency. In this wide-ranging interview Skybreak, a scientist with professional training in ecology and evolutionary biology, and an advocate of the new synthesis of communism brought forward by Bob Avakian, speaks to why science and the scientific method are essential not only in relationship to the natural world but also to understanding society and transforming it in the interests of humanity.

Ardea Skybreak is a scientist with professional training in ecology and evolutionary biology. She is a follower of Bob Avakian and an advocate of the New Communism which he has developed. Skybreak comes from a cosmopolitan background and has traveled extensively and interacted with people from many different cultures. From a very early age, she was encouraged to become a critical thinker and systematically trained as an intellectual with a wide and diverse range of interests and passions in a great many spheres of both arts and sciences. Skybreak has had a lifelong commitment to demystifying and broadly popularizing evidence-based science and the scientific method. She feels strongly that when people are denied the means to apply the basic methods of science to probe and explore reality, they not only miss out on being able to fully appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world, but also end up being deprived of the very best means to correctly understand the history and defining characteristics of any phenomenon or process (how things are, and how they got to be that way)
