Steven Chia and Crispina Robert talk about what’s causing the decline with Dr Norman Li, psychology professor at the Singapore Management University, and mother of one, Holly Fang.

Customer Reviews
Covid19 discussion between 2 scientific experts
The latest Covid19 discussion was fantastic (and electrifying!). It’s almost like the mirage of a conservative Lawrence Wong debating a more liberal OYK, except these are the scientists. I learnt so much! The interviewer was very competent too. Pls do more of these- I wish we can hear more from scientific experts, not just the MTF, when it comes to Covid.
Great podcast
I think the latest episode about second hand smoke was a episode I thoroughly enjoyed.
It was fair, informative, covered both sides of the matter and had a good conclusion.
Keep it up!
