Show notes

Wendy Zukerman isn't like some other science reporters in that she doesn't traffic in false equivalencies. "If there's a 95 percent consensus among scientists, you report the consensus," says Zukerman. Her podcast, Science Vs., is on its second season. The topics this year range from immigration and climate change to acne and ghosts.
