Ep2: Dave "Professor Dave Explains" Farina: Hitting Back Hard At Science Grifters, Liars and Frauds

#flatearth #conspiracytheories #pseudoscience Today, we’ve got a heavyweight of the YouTube arena— Dave Farina. He’s a science educator with a BA in chemistry and an Masters in science education, who spent about a decade teaching before taking his fight to YouTube—where his channel Professor Dave Explains now reaches millions. He’s dismantled everything from Flat Earth fantasies to creationist talking points to medical hoaxes on his youtube channel, and he also wrote a book on spotting misleading science. If denial is a blooming cottage industry, Dave is the building inspector. And, he brought a sledgehammer! Dave explains how we can push back hard on science grifters, liars and frauds.

About Science Counterpunch: Science Counterpunch is a podcast that combines hard evidence, frontline scientist testimony, and rapid rebuttal clips to expose anti‑science influencers and actors while centering science and experts under fire in our modern, polarised attention economy. Science Counterpunch is a podcast that forcefully defends the legacy of the Enlightenment by giving reason and evidence a powerful voice in today’s information war. We expose merchants of doubt, amplify the voices of scientists under attack, and make rationality resonate in a world drowning in disinformation. We seek to empower citizens to spot anti-science rhetoric, influencers, and policies. We yearn for a public armed with the facts, the resilience, and the confidence to champion science as their personal shield against myth, manipulation, and magical thinking.
