Science in the Age of Propaganda" explores how science can be influenced, distorted, or manipulated—not just by bad actors, but sometimes by the very systems designed to uphold it.In this episode of Lipstick on Labcoats, host Ashlei Lewis dives into the murky waters where scientific integrity meets social, political, and media influence.
