This Study Shows Listen Entertainment & Wiley

We might think that science and money have nothing to do with each other, but whether it's video games, consumer DNA kits, or even the concrete we build with, the connections are everywhere. Listen to Dr. Mitu Khandaker, Dr. John Orr, and Dr. Jason Vassy explore what happens when research and commercial interests collide.

Whoever said knowledge is power was right. We look at what happens when evidence gets placed in the hands of local communities and the freedom it gives them. Hear Monica Ramirez Andreotta, the director of Project Harvest, Esther Ngumbi, the founder of Oyeska Greens, and Nigel Zhang and Yinuo Wang of My H2O discuss how their projects connect research and community.

AI has come a long way (it even named this episode) but what does it have to do with science communication? We find the line between the present and the future as we explore how AI will affect science communication, and how has it already taken hold, with Mara Pometti, lead data strategist at IBM, and Professor Charlie Beckett, lead of JournalismAI at the London School of Economics.
