Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined again by Dr. Kostas Kamporakis, and we're going to talk about his new book, Trusting Science, Why We Need to Reconsider School Science. teaching and I'm also leaving links to authors to interviews in the description of this one. So Dr.
Kamporakis, welcome back to the show. It's always a pleasure to have you on. Thank you very much. It's always a pleasure for me too to talk to you and discuss about the books. Great.
So uh why did you feel the need to write such a book now? Yeah, well, as you know, during the pandemic there was a lot of discussion and questions regarding what scientists can really know and how valid the recommendations about the various measures that we're making were. And I started wondering, you know, why is this happening, knowing that of course there is a lot of uncertainty inherent in science, but at the same time, uh the reactions of people were sometimes extreme. So I decided to look into this and try to understand what might be the cause of this issue.
