Episode 85
Stat: 79%: The percentage of people who agree that science has made life easier for most of us.
Story: Science may sometimes seem abstract, but its benefits can be seen everywhere—from the technology in smartphones to the medicines we take. In this episode, we explore what science really is (and what it’s not) with Ira Flatow, host of the popular “Science Friday” radio program, and Carlo Rovelli, a world-renowned theoretical physicist and bestselling author.
