Through blinded experiments, rigorous peer review and replication—we’ve been told that by using the scientific method we’ll find trustworthy facts. But, with many scientific findings largely regarded as ‘wrong’, is science broken?

Avis
From a scientific standpoint, a little biased
I love this podcast but as someone who tries to find middle ground and listen to different opinions and experiences to encourage less volatile conversations between people who don’t agree, it is understandable why some people are upset about some of the bias, especially since this is labeled as a “Science” podcast.
Science vs Ozempic
The worst, most amateur podcasting style for an important topic. The 2 hosts spend an inordinate amount of time in inane banter and giggling at their own jokes, plus a juvenile way of talking down to the audience. Could not finish this episode.
Two thumbs up from this scientist
I have listened to a lot of music episodes at this point, and I love this podcast. It’s a fun, accessible, factual podcast in which they present the data on subjects.
I’m a scientist professionally and this is literally my favorite science podcast. So much of academia is inaccessible to the general public and this podcast really transcends that inaccessibility. I also find that the translation of scientific research gets sensationalized or is just wrong in a lot of popular science writing, including missing context and important nuances. So far, this podcast has done an outstanding job with translating complex science to lay people!
Thank you to the team at Science Vs and screw the bad reviews I’ve seen about this podcast that are wrong and projecting their heavily agenda driven and anti-science _opinions_.
