In this episode of The Sieve, Karen is joined by Dr David Robert Grimes … physicist, cancer researcher, and author of The Irrational Ape … for a wide-ranging conversation about truth, belief, and the battle against misinformation in a noisy world.
Together, they explore why humans are so susceptible to conspiracy thinking, how science communication can be both powerful and flawed, and what it really takes to stay curious and grounded in a culture that often rewards certainty over nuance. David shares personal insights from his own work in science and media, as well as his experiences navigating public discourse during some of the most polarising debates of our time.
This is an episode about evidence but also about empathy. A reminder that behind every strong opinion is often a story worth listening to.
