Leighton Smith Podcast #291 - July 2nd 2025 - Guy Hatchard
About this episode
Over the last few years there has been much scientific dispute.
Climate dominated much of the last forty years, followed and outranked by Covid-19. Both remain very much in the headlines.
Science itself has suffered in the battle over truth. "Settled science” is more fallacy than fact.
Fortunately, there is an increase in push-back on false or unsubstantiated claims.
Guy Hatchard was a senior manager at Genetic ID; a food safety testing and certification laboratory. He has a degree in Logic and Theoretical Physics and a PhD in Psychology.
In light of the current debate over the NZ Gene Technology Bill, Hatchard provides another warning on “settled science”.
And, finally, we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
