The Podcast
I started Data Doyenne as a way to communicate science and health knowledge during the Covid-19 pandemic. I continue because Covid-19 was just the beginning. We have been introduced - or re-introduced - to the infodemic which is the pandemic of disinformation.
This podcast started as a way for me to communicate data in an educational and entertaining way.
I paused to work on my book.
I return - shortly - to talk all things infodemic with special emphasis on Fake News, Witch Hunts and Conspiracy Theories.
