In the final part of my interview with Dr Sumaiya Shaikh, we discuss her work as a science communicator.

She has noticed how alternative medicines like Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Naturopathy, Siddh and Unani have grown in our country and the danger they pose to us and the ones we love.

So she founded Altnews Science to debunk misinformation and share the real science behind the news. For example, she has written several excellent articles regarding COVID-19 and even the Patanjali Scam that tried to take advantage of people during the pandemic.

All that and a lot more await you in this episode.

If you have any questions for Dr Shaikh, please add them in the comments below and I’ll be sure to ask them when she’s on-air with us next time.

In the meantime, enjoy this interview and always remember to be Rationable!
