A disconnect between science and the public has existed for a long time. A disconnect that has been amplified with the ongoing pandemic. It feels like public trust in science has reached a new low. Misinformation runs rampant. The media cannot help themselves from sensationalizing scientific discoveries, and we often get mixed messages from politicians, public health officials, and sometimes scientists themselves.

With all that in mind, we sought to create Better Science and contribute to making science better by bridging this gap between science and the public. With the Better Science Show, we are bringing simple and accessible discussions about fresh scientific discoveries to the public! Ultimately, the mission is to increase public trust and excitement in science!
