Dave Farina (Professor Dave Explains) - Pseudoscience and Scientific Misinformation

Today I’m speaking with Dave Farina of the UA-cam channel Professor Dave Explains. Dave has been making educational videos across a range of topics and disciplines for many years, with a focus on the physical and life sciences. Dave’s channel has also featured debates, panel discussions, and video responses to flat earthers, climate change deniers, and creationists, among others, in an attempt to combat scientific misinformation. Dave has even published a book on this topic, titled “Is This Wi-Fi Organic - A Guide to Spotting Misleading Science Online” which is currently discounted until January 31st.
