"Science is not objective. It is subjective. And I think having conversations about it is very important."
Dr Jenny Lange is a neuroscientist specialising in uncovering the mechanisms of rare neurological disorders. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the UK Dementia Research Institute, University College London. Outside the lab, Dr Lange is a public speaker and writer on medical history, the intersection of science and literature, and scientific ethics.
Things we discuss
- The history of quackery and why charlatans follow the same playbook
- Research abuses that have legitimately fueled mistrust in science
