In this episode we have a returning guest Wes Wilson. As you may recall in our previous episode, Wes is a scientist who is using the immune system to fight certain types of cancer. He still is but in a time of the novel coronavirus, things have changed. Wes tells us how the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has affected cancer research, how it has affected the treatment of cancer patients, and the scientists involved in this research.

Wes also gives us an update on what he has been doing as a science communicator and some of his upcoming scicomm projects, one of which is a new YouTube channel where they talk to cancer patients and help them along their journey and they talk about treatments, myths, fears, and what others should know as they undergo their own cancer journey. As you may recall, Wes is also the host of the Mostly Science podcast

In 2019, the Nigerian government held a series of Science Cafes to communicate the science behind the genetically modified cowpea and how it could be used to fight the pod borer pest. The cowpea is not only a major food source for Nigerians, it also happens to be one of the country's main exports. As the pod borer can wipe out as much as 80% of a farmer's crop, finding a way to fight this pest is critically important.

Despite the success and necessity for this piece of technology, certain groups expressed skepticism.In this episode, I talk to science journalist Etta Michael Bisong who has been covering the use of GMOs in Nigeria, and Iida Ruishalme to explain the science. We discuss why there is fear and hesitation in adopting GMOs, how science communicators can do better, and how messaging from developed nations can promote fear and hesitancy in developing countries.
