Historically, the pursuit of science has been closely linked to wealth, opportunity, and privilege. How strong is this perception today in seeding distrust and disbelief? And can it be shifted in order to communicate the science more effectively?

In this episode Nick Ishmael-Perkins explores how competing narratives can make explaining science an often difficult and complicated task. Nick is joined by Professor Tawana Kupe, vice chancellor of University of Pretoria, and Kamila Navarro, science communicator.
