Episode description
COVID 19, or the Coronavirus, has dominated headlines this week, and will likely do so for some months to come.
This week I talk with science writer and communications consultant Alex Berezow. Also a public speaker, he is known as “The Junk Science Debunker."
He is Co-author of ‘Science Left Behind’, ‘The Little Black Book of Junk Science’. He has a PhD in micro-biology and writes for The American Council on Science and Health.
There’s more on the virus from various perspectives.
And more on the death of one of the world’s greatest scientists, Freeman Dyson. I’ve been referencing Dyson for a number of years. He is a great loss. A physicist and a rebel, he thought “every good scientist should be a sceptic”.
And there’s your correspondence with Mrs Producer aka Carolyn.
