What’s the relationship between matter and space-time? What’s the fundamental nature of reality? And how should we, as science communicators, push back against anti-scientific BS?

These are just some of the topics I had the pleasure of discussing with Tevin Naidu. Tevin is a medical doctor, philosopher, and ethicist whose academic work spans theories of consciousness, computational psychiatry, phenomenological psychopathology, values-based practice, moral luck, addiction, and the philosophy and ethics of science, mind, and mental health.

Tune in and join us for this thought-provoking conversation!
