In today’s episode, Jordan is excited to speak with infectious disease epidemiologist, award-winning science communicator, and proud mama of three children, Jessica Malaty Rivera. Jessica’s passion for being a responsible, critical consumer of scientific information, becoming more media literate in an “infodemic”, and dispelling dangerous lies about vaccination and food safety drive the conversation. Now, more than ever, we must learn how to tell fact from fiction to make informed decisions in our lives, and Jessica equips us with the tools to do so while wading through the noise. We hope you enjoy Episode 3.
