#8 Science Schmience with Dr. Sc. Eyal Spier
Listen now
Description
Get ready for the most entertaining episode of “Psychobabble” yet! Ever found yourself annoyed at someone proclaiming “it’s science!” about a radical idea? Then join us for this fast-paced half hour of science skepticism and myth-busting with Dr. Sc. Eyal Spier in our special science edition "Science Schmience"! My husband and I delve into the fascinating realm of scientific misconceptions and quackery. With his PhD from ETH in Zürich in chemical engineering and biotechnology, as well as his unparalelled memory and ability to tell stories, he addressed the common mistakes people make when discussing science and statistics. What makes this episode truly special is the dynamic and light-hearted conversation between Eyal and myself. As one of my favorite pastimes is triggering Eyal with popular misconceptions and quacks I come across on TikTok, we've incorporated this by finding the most liked videos, this time on antioxidants and homeopathy, and having him react to them. We use that opportunity to debunk the myths surrounding those topics.
