Risk 101 is a series within the Critical Science Podcast that will introduce you to some of the key terms and concepts that you need to know. These are concepts and terms that we should have been taught in high school, but weren't.


In this episode I discuss the difference between risk and hazard.


Oh, and there's some great trivia in the episode, too! Do you know what the #1 killer of children in Florida is? Well, listen up, because you're about to find out!


I'll also discuss how the press are Merchants of Fear -- and the role they play in toxic misinformation.


It's a packed episode today!
