'Moderate' knowledge leads to science skepticism You'd think that the less someone knows, the more likely it is they'll buy in to misinformation. Right? Surprisingly, a new study suggests that, up to a point, it's actually worse to know more.

Had a fun conversation w/ Conor Dillon and Gabriel Borrud for the #ScienceUnscripted podcast @dw_news

Starting from @spac.bsky.social's recent paper, we discussed how much we should "dumb down" science to make it accessible and lowering the bar for saying "I don't know"
