In this episode

Storytelling is inherent in science, but sometimes we get comfortable with narratives that may be problematic. Agroecology PhD student Siwook Hwang sheds light on the dangers of the "scarcity axiom" and how we should pay attention to and challenge how we frame our stories in science.
