  • Episode 5: Trust in Science, July 4, 2020

      • Episode 3: The virus

        The novel corona virus has changed everything in our daily lives. As the US starts to return to a little bit of normal, do the numbers really reflect that this is the right course.  Have the politicians skipped ahead of science?  I believe so, not based on politics but based on statistics.
