Science Vs Podcast
Science Vs takes on fads, trends, and the opinionated mob to find out what’s fact, what’s not, and what’s somewhere in between.
Science Vs is your team of friendly fact checkers that blow up your firmly held opinions and replace them with science. Wondering whether you should drink detox teas like an insta-celeb, or believe your drunk uncle’s rant about gun control? Science Vs has an ep for that.
Three out of every four American grocery stores sell organic products, but what are you really getting when you buy them?
Is fracking really a disaster unfolding?
Trying to get rid of acne can feel like a science experiment with your face — so we get to the bottom of what works and what doesn’t.
There’s an intriguing body of research that suggests the power of antidepressants doesn’t come from chemicals in the drugs, but from the power of placebo.
To explore the cutting edge of forensic science, we look at two famous court cases — the Amanda Knox and Casey Anthony murder trials.
Less than half of Americans think climate change is caused by humans, but scientists are sure about it.

Last week we explored the science behind vaccine safety. This week we try to understand where these fears came from, and why they persist.
This week, we’re turning up the bass and checking out what does Molly do to your brain. Is it bad for you? Could it be a potential medicine?
So… you’re losing your hair. Is there anything that can be done about it?
What is killing the bees? And will we have enough food to eat if the bee-pocalypse becomes worse?
We look at the science behind some of the most popular supplements with nutritional epidemiologist Prof. Katherine Tucker, neuroscientist Dr. Simon Dyall, and medical researcher Dr. Mark Bolland.
Can America go 100% renewable by 2050? Does the technology already exist?
