Why Professor Dave Thinks Our Scientific Integrity Is at Jeopardy (#340)

Today's guest is no stranger to drama and controversy, and he may
have helped you pass a test or two in school… Meet Dave Farina,
better known as Professor Dave Explains! Dave is a popular science
communicator, chemist, author, and proprietor of one of the largest
science YouTube channels in the world. Dave and I first got in
contact after I published an interview with someone who Dave claims
is a charlatan, and of course, that sparked my interest, and I knew
I had to get Dave on the show, too, so he could state his case
properly. Join us as we discuss the heated drama between Dave and
the Discovery Institute, science deniers, faith, and the concept of
lying. Are you ready? Let’s dive in! Key Takeaways: On exposing
misinformation and fraudulent claims (00:32) The notion of lying
(12:34) Judging a book by its cover: Is This Wi-Fi Organic? (21:32)
