Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we discuss how to tackle the challenge of lack of nuance in popular science debates. We move on to discussing how there is a culture of ignoring domain expertise in India at the cost of cocksure narratives. In the latter half of the podcast we talk of how the omission of topics like global warming, the theory of evolution, and the periodic table from lower class curriculum could result in a lack of understanding of the first principle of science.
