Featuring 3 of my favourite science communicators
and activists in Canada, Ryan Armstrong - ED at Bad Science Watch,
Samantha Yammine - otherwise known as @science.sam & Jonathan Jarry
- science communicator at McGill University and co-host of
@thebodyofevidence podcast.
From placenta smoothies to “perineum sunning” -
jade eggs to vampire facials, there is no denying the uptick of
bunk wellness claims in the 2010’s. This kind of noise has a large
and measurable impact. Today, studies can find anything. And we’re
increasingly confused about what a healthy lifestyle involves. Why
do false beliefs continue (and spread) in the face of bad,
sometimes even fatal, consequences?
Hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I
did!
