It may seem like an obvious fact that science matters during these unprecedented times, but, sometimes it bears repeating. Neil explains why the public needs to listen to scientists and why science is true whether you believe it or not. We discuss the public’s tendency to politicize instead of acknowledge science and objective truths. Discover how scientists warning against the pandemic are being treated similar to scientists warning against climate change. Neil tells us how this pandemic might permanently change the nature of some people’s conduct and practices in daily life.
