  • Dr. Elizabeth Finkel — Exploring Science and Truth in the Post-Truth Era
    Nov 18 2025
    : In this enlightening episode, Michael interviews Dr. Elizabeth Finkel, a renowned biochemist, science journalist, and editor of Cosmos magazine, about her latest book, Prove It: A Scientific Guide to the Post-Truth Era (Latrobe/Black Inc, 2025). Dr. Finkel offers compelling insights into how the scientific method has evolved over centuries, emphasizing that science is a continual search for truth rather than a final, conclusive proof. Through stories of controversies and breakthroughs—from Einstein’s gravitational waves to the origins of COVID-19—she illustrates how scientific thinking navigates uncertainty and discovery. Prompted by recent challenges to scientific integrity, including the questioning of truth during President Trump’s era, Dr. Finkel stresses the importance of understanding science’s nature, methods, and its vital role in shaping a better, more informed world. Join us for a fascinating discussion on science’s enduring quest for truth.
