A scientific s茅ance
Conjuring, not spirits, but critical thinking to expose fradulent psychics
Join the Unexpected team as they journey beyond the borders of reality to ask why we believe in the illogical.
After a fraudulent psychic dupes 1.3 million Americans, panellist Camilla Mota turns to history for insight into how scientists debunk such con artists. The Unexpected library harbours secrets of paranormal experimentation and dead air live on the 成人快手, and panellist Phillys Mwatee reveals why our beliefs win out over hard evidence written in ink. Nevertheless, in a world rife with conspiracy and vaccine hesitancy, Melissa Kapulu from the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme in Kilifi, Kenya, shares the fascinating scientific obstacles faced in the quest to eradicate malaria from Africa once and for all.
Also hear how a Nigerian pastor and super-star has been making Melissa's job much harder, and life on fake mars.
