from Radio Northern Beaches Highlights Podcast · host Christine McCormack
: In this enlightening episode, Michael interviews Dr. Elizabeth Finkel, a renowned biochemist, science journalist, and editor of Cosmos magazine, about her latest book, Prove It: A Scientific Guide to the Post-Truth Era (Latrobe/Black Inc, 2025).
