Since taking office, US President Donald Trump has thrown American science and medical research into disarray. Through a flurry of executive orders, he withdrew the US from the World Health Organization, imposed a communications blackout on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and ordered the removal of publications, guidelines and databases “that inculcate or promote gender ideology”. Thousands of government webpages were taken offline, erasing references to gender, race and sexual orientation. The impact is spreading to Australian medical researchers, whose concerns range from losing their access to funding, the censorship of their findings and the disruption of global health alert systems. Today, science journalist and contributor to The Saturday Paper Bianca Nogrady, on America’s ideological war on science and the implications for Australia.

There's a lot of attention right now on nootropics, or brain boosters. The marketing is telling us these over-the-counter supplements will keep us awake and alert, and even improve the way our brains perform. But should we believe the hype? Guardian contributor Bianca Nogrady says … it's complicated. You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport
The spread of monkeypox is testing public health officials worldwide. It's a virus that is challenging both our ability to get vaccines and medicines to the people who need them most - and the ability of health authorities to send the right message. So what is the right health message? And how do we empower communities, after they have been through two years of a Covid-19 pandemic? Today, science journalist Bianca Nogrady on the origins and challenges of the Monkeypox outbreak. Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram. Guest: Science journalist Bianca Nogrady.
As many journalists choose freelance media work we discuss the benefits and challenges of freelancing. Tina Quinn spoke with Bianca Nogrady and Catherine Bouris.
Is the pandemic really behind us or have politics and mainstream media simply moved on to newer news?Despite the drop in popularity of covid stories, our guest in The Tea Room today makes it abundantly clear that it's not time to pop the champagne just yet.Bianca Nogrady is president of the Science Journalists Association of Australia and has faithfully provided The Medical Republic's covid coverage almost since the pandemic started. She's had her eye on the statistics for two years and the current trends alarm her.“We have become far too complacent with deaths from covid. And it's really bizarre that we used to get the daily press conferences when the deaths were numbered in the 10s to 20s and that was shocking, whereas now we can have 80 people die in a day and there's barely a whisper,” Nogrady says.Tune in to this episode for a summary of the latest covid conversations from someone who's had a bird's eye view of covid science and public discourse over the past two years. You may want to mask up.
We should be careful what we wish for. The Covid-19 pandemic ushered in a new era of public prominence for science advice, and the emergence of a new breed of 'celebrity' advisor whose face was recognisable from our TVs, newspapers and bedspreads. But in the modern world, public prominence has a dark side too. Science journalist Bianca Nogrady has researched the increasing issue of abuse and threats directed at science advisors. In this episode, she outlines what's going on, what causes it, and how we might try to tackle it. Resources mentioned in this episode Bianca Nogrady: https://biancanogrady.com/

In COVID-19 news this week... The Lancet has published an editorial asking voters not to elect Trump in November. Two studies try to answer the question of the true seroprevalence of COVID-19 in different populations. Australian researchers have estimated that the overall rate of asymptomatic COVID-19 presentations is around 16%. And Sweden's approach of relying on herd immunity may have shortened life expectancy of its citizens by 2-3 years. That - and more! - in this episode of The Medical Republic podcast.

Science journalist, broadcaster and Up All Night regular Bianca Nogrady is joined by Professor of Astrophysics at Sydney University Geraint Lewis to answer your science and nature questions.
Bianca Nogrady is a Freelance Science Journalist, Author, Broadcaster, Tutor and much more. In my opinion, Bianca is a jack of all trades when it comes to world of Science commentary. For more than a decade, Bianca's work has been featured in Nature, The Guardian, Undark, the BMJ, Australian Geographic, Scientific American, the ABC, and BBC. This no doubt gives an indication of what kind of reputation Bianca has created from years of hard work covering a multitude of topics in the world of Science. Bianca has authored/co-authored two books The End: The Human Experience Of Death and The Sixth Wave: How To Succeed In A Resource Limited World which cover respective topics of how we experience and interpret death and the now present sixth wave of global human innovation. We talk quite a bit about both books which I highly recommended and links to purchase them can be found in the show notes link. As many of you will know, I have a real fascination with the freelance/self employed lifestyle. In fact, I created a podcast all about it (see the 'Self Starter' podcast). As Bianca has been working as a Freelance Journalist for quite a few years now, I had to pick her brain on her own experiences working for herself. Bianca reflected on how she transitioned from traditional employment, the challenges experienced a long the way and the clear benefits of being able to earn a living doing what you're passionate about, on your own terms. Lot's of nuggets of insight for anyone who is looking to take the plunge or is in the thick of being a freelance worker. Bianca is never short of a subject to research or talk about. As you will discover in our chat, there's a never ending list of topics to discuss and we managed to cover quite a bit in a short space of time, without even truly scraping the surface. Bianca's curiosity is infectious and left me with a real thirst to continue to learn about the world around me without any constraints.
