In normal days, Science Vs looks at fads and trends from the lens of science to help listeners suss out what is evidence-based.

This is what they talked about:

- “Coronavirus: Unmasking the Facts and Ibuprofen Scares” episode of Science Vs
- Pew Research study finds that 3 in 10 Americans believe COVID-19 was made in a lab
