About this listen

 Sit with me on the lab bench! Here, I'll discuss science in all its forms, connecting with researchers from our community, including Archer and Brentwood, to uncover the science behind news and current events. I’ll cover pressing issues such as anti-science trends, the enhancement of science education, and the examination of the relationship between science and government, as well as debunking prevalent scientific myths in the media. With a focus on highlighting the interplay between science and society, I aim to make complex and relevant ideas accessible and understandable to everyone.All rights reserved Science Social Sciences

    Episode Notes

    In this first episode of The Lab Bench, we explore the recent Chevron Supreme Court case and its potential to shift how science and law intersect in federal decisions. With implications for health, technology, environmental policies, and more, I ask: What happens when legal reasoning takes precedence over scientific expertise? Join me as I discuss what this could mean for the future.
