Peek behind the curtain on a story from Edify’s May edition, “The Battle for Truth” featuring former Edify cover star, author, professor and researcher at the University of Alberta Timothy Caufield. Tim joins Trudy and Steven to discuss the problems facing the scientific community, how journalism faces parallel challenges and how we can all resist the rising tide of misinformation.
