On this week’s episode of the pod, we are sharing our conversation with a fellow science communicator, Dr. Mona Amin, founder of Peds Doc Talk.
We were recently guests on her podcast and thought we would share our discussion here since it is very relevant to Unbiased Science. Dr. Mona is a Board certified pediatrician who launched her podcast and social media page (@pedsdoctalk) to help parents sift through misguided parenting advice and crappy information, and tune out the judgemental comments on the mom-forums. Together, we broadly discuss the topic of misinformation in science. We address the following questions:
• What could have been done differently in this pandemic
• The difference between misinformation and disinformation
• What’s next in this pandemic
• Why debunking information is so difficult as science-educators
• What it means when a pandemic becomes endemic

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!
