When Is Dissent Appropriate: COVID-era Examples

This cross-platform podcast is shared on Science Facts and Fallacies as well as Talking Biotech.  Cameron English, Dr. Liza Lockwood and Dr. Kevin Folta discuss the comments made during a rant on the Science Facts and Fallacies podcast concerning the rigor of peer review and alledged lack of self policing in academic publishing.  They discuss several papers in the recent public eye, with an emphasis on the process, the media response, and the nuance that is used in academic publishing, review and editorial oversight.
