In an era of alternative facts, reliable information is needed now more than ever. And with our increasingly tech-driven world, sometimes science reporting isn’t spot on, so is the solution, then, in how scientists broadcast their own data?
On this edition of Perpetual Notion Machine, Kevin Lauterjung chats with Alex DeHaven (Policy Analyst at the Center for Open Science), Hannah White (Life Sciences Communication program at University of Wisconsin-Madison), and PNM co-host Kelly Schwartz, about moves within the scientific community toward “open science”. Access, language, philosophy, and trust are all discussed, and we look at parallels to a surprising historical religious icon.
