Scientist Answers Science Questions, Legislatures, Education, w/ Michael Siegel & Benjamin Ayanian

Your Heard Tell for Thursday, January 26th, 2022, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking science headlines, your questions, and issues with science and scientists with Heard Tell's most frequent guest, scientist Dr Michael Siegel. We talk James Webb space telescope, how to discern "studies say" in news media, STEM education, why scientist struggle to communicate with the public and what to do about it, why intro-level college courses should cover a broad spectrum of topics, and more. Plus writer and commentator Benjamin Ayanian returns to Heard Tell to talk about the importance of paying attention to state legislatures, how national narratives don't always apply and often distract from state and local politics and policies, what COVID-19 should have taught legislative bodies but apparently different, and how "don't let a crisis go to waste" is becoming a real problem when crisis keeps coming. 

All that and more on this Thursday edition of Heard Tell.
