BenchTalk | October Sky; Science Interference by White House; Emotions of Isolation | Oct 5, 2020

What three planets can we see this month? J Scott Miller tells us about the October night sky. Then, hear a summary of how the White House is interfering with COVID science. This was originally broadcast on Slates' 'Political Gabfest' (see link below). Finally, Leslie Moise discusses research on the emotions of isolation (and pandemics) and provides tips on how to deal with it. She finishes with two powerful poems.
