Episode 62: Why science journalism must evolve before the next emergency

Host: Subhra Priyadarshini; Sound editing: Prince George ***** Welcome to This Week in India’s Science on the Nature India podcast This week, we bring you three stories that speak to our changing world — and how we choose to understand it. We’ll start with a look inward, at the state of science journalism itself. Why is it so often reactive, underfunded, and seen as optional — a side dish in newsrooms — when the stakes have never been higher? Then we head to space — where ISRO and NASA have just launched their first Earth-mapping satellite together. It's a big step for science diplomacy and for the way we track climate change, disaster zones, and land use. And finally, back on the ground — to Kolkata, where researchers have created glowing nanoparticles that hunt down cancer cells with striking precision. Hosted on Acast.
