What are the root causes of science-skepticism? Is climate change denial linked to a philosophy of inequality? Why is it so difficult to build trust towards scientists? Dr. John Kerr joins us to Unpack the data shedding light on why anti-science belief exists in New Zealand, and around the world.
This is the condensed, short-form version of our full interview with Dr. Kerr. To listen to the full episode, + bonus content, head to patreon.com/phdunpacked.
