We had a slight problem that we never encountered here on the Speak Up For Blue Team: We were asked to take down an episode because our guest's boss was worried that the information that was discussed briefly on an episode was going to affect the future funding from a grantor.  We didn't agree with the boss, but we didn't want our guests to be put in a more difficult position than they were already in.  The Speak Up For Blue Team (with 7 podcasts) has communicated a lot of science, but we encounter barriers from time to time.  In this episode, I give you some ways to overcome those barriers and give reasons why there shouldn't be any barriers at all.
