- Science is the limit
You should cover the HPV Vaccine that came out to help prevent cervical cancer that was so popular in 2010 or 2011. Despite the Catholic Church being opposed to it, a lot of women in that community got it, including an ex friend with benefits.

United States9 months ago - Science communication is all about timing
The ads would have changed to Nevada ads when we all moved out here, not when James told you we all moved out here.

To be fair, I only listened to 4 shows; it got repetitious. Cara is incapable of viewing an issue without seeing racism, sexism or some form of persecution. Lots of broad generalizations and selective examples; this pod is confirmation bias on steroids. It’s like one of a dozen NPR shows without the depth or production quality.
Apple Podcasts1Marcus517United Statesa year ago - Cara is brilliant
