In Episode 20, we get together to try to figure out whether science is political based on these two papers:

"The Peril of Politicizing Science"

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jpclett.1c01475

"Science is Political, and We Must Deal with It"

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jpclett.1c02017

After a fast synopsis of the papers, we try to make sense of whether science is political or not and what we, as scientists, should do about it. Enjoy!
