What do you say when someone doesn't trust science? In this Flashcards Friday episode, I share practical, evidence-based ways to talk about science with skeptics, without attacking, shaming, or arguing past each other.

This episode focuses on how evidence actually works, why people reject scientific claims, and how scientists and science communicators can lower defensiveness by explaining methods, uncertainty, and values clearly. If you care about public trust in science, this episode offers tools you can use immediately.
