Living Through Extinction; Science & Skepticism Against the Decline of Basic Reason

Ruby

Secular Humanist and Skeptic Ruby Pommer, (she/her/hers), began the show with a friend, but when they decided podcasting wasn't for them, she turned it towards her personal passions. Science and Skepticism are her main jam. The truth matters, no matter if we like it or not. It can be political and harsh at times, but will always be based on scientific skepticism. #skeptic #skepticism #beskeptical
