Restoring trust in science starts with transparency. As @yale astrophysicist @SheerPriya points out, scientists can help by demystifying how science actually works. Link to full show: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Fantastic show by @jeremyhobson, great conversation with Flora Lichtman of @scifri and thoughtful questions from the public - helped deepen my own understanding of the causes of skepticism about science and therefore how to restore trust - much to do!

The JWST has revealed galaxies that seem too massive, too early, discoveries that could shake the very foundations of cosmology. Astrophysicist @SheerPriya explores whether JWST’s findings truly blow up our current understanding of the universe. youtube.com/watch?v=hnhl2f55…
