307: The Award for Honesty on Mars (feat. Forrest Valkai)
About this episode
A conversation with biologist Forrest Valkai about various topics including conspiracy thought and internet grifters.
Today we're joined by biologist and science communicator Forrest Valkai (ig: @valkailabs) for a chat about tackling live call-in shows, the temptations of conspiracy thought, algorithmic cognitohazards, internet grifters, and more! A very interesting and passionate conversation on this one, folks. We had a blast. And speaking of internet grifters: do you hate ads but love (or even just tolerate) this show?

Then check out our Patreon and support the show at patreon.com/leightonnight! Kick us $5 a month and you even get a MINISODE every week, too. AND access to the fan discord, which is cool and fun.
