@the.living.room.pod: Most scientists don't trust science news. And there's a reason for that. In this conversation, Dr. Vera Gorbunova and Dr. Andrei Seluanov open up about something that might surprise you: they actively avoid media coverage of science. Not because they're out of touch. Because they're too close to it. They've seen how the process works firsthand. Journalists looking for a hook. A finding pulled out of context. A nuanced result turned into a headline that barely resembles the original research. As they explain, sensationalism isn't a bug in science media. For many outlets, it's the business model. It's a perspective worth sitting with, especially in a world where most of us are forming opinions about health, medicine, and research based on exactly that kind of coverage. Tune into the full conversation, out now on all major streaming platforms.
