    Detecting Disease Outbreaks from Internet Traffic | Seth Stephens-Davidowitz

    This is closely tied to a 4-hour collaboration between Sam Harris and me, which Sam is posting to his podcast's feed. I strongly recommend that episode too! But it's not "required" for you to get everything out of this fascinating conversation with Seth.

Well delivered and clear conversations/ideas

This podcast has now become one of my favourite to follow.

Broad topics are discussed and Rob has an amazing way of delivering information and facilitating the conversation.

Can not recommend it enough.

Astounding

Arguably the best science podcast you could find out there. Consistently great curation of themes and scientists.

You can really tell how much care and thought the author puts into the production of each episode, he is an excellent interviewer too, making accessible to non scientists like myself, some of the most challenging parts of the episodes.

I would also recommend to support his Patreon page that contains extra bits of information for each of his podcast.

🙏🏽
