There’s a lot of medical misinformation online. How do you know who, or what, to trust? To help you think through the fog, we’re bringing you two conversations on health, medicine, evidence and trust in the digital age. In this second episode, we discuss how scientists build consensus and what that can teach the rest of us about navigating an era of confusing, social-media-driven health advice.
Guests and hosts:
- Helen Pearson, author of “Beyond Belief” and a senior editor at Nature
- Alok Jha, The Economist’s science and technology editor
Topics covered:
- Evidence-based medicine
- Clinical trials
- Artificial intelligence
