The Rise of the Science Populists with Sam Gregson and Tim Henke
Tim Henke, a mathematical physicist studying science populism, and Sam Gregson, a physics PhD and science communicator, dissect the rise of science populists in physics.

They explore why anti‑institution rhetoric spreads, how entertainers and cranks fuel audiences, and what better science communication might look like.
