About this episode
The episode discusses the rise of science communicators and the intersection of AI, data centers, and social issues.
First up, Professor Dave explains. Science communicator Dave Farina joins the show to talk about the emergence of science communicators at a time when science denial is reaching ever soaring heights. Dave discusses the lure and prevalence of erroneous scientific claims and how science literacy and media literacy necessarily overlap and require continued practice and engagement to combat dangerous mis and disinformation. Up next, my cohost Mickey Huff and I dig into some of the news that didnt make the news with a particular focus on AI and data centers. We discuss the targeting of community members standing in opposition to the data center boom, the recycled intersections of corporate malfeasance, poverty, and racism, why you shouldn’t just google that, and more. The News That Didn’t Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy. The post Project Censored – June 12, 2026 appeared first on KPFA.
