Episode 56: Revisiting Skepticism

In this episode of Art and Science Punks Kate and Rob talk about a fun list of science myths (https://thebestschools.org/magazine/25-popular-science-myths-debunked/), some they thought might be true and why. It's a continuation of the Baloney conversation from episode 23 (https://artsciencepunks.fireside.fm/23)! Kate and Rob also share an art pick and a science pick this week: one is checking in on the NASA Juno mission; the other is about printing big posters.
