Science and medicine sometimes have an arrogance problem. They use the idea that trust us or the experts. All across the United States, school buildings sit empty.

They might claim expertise for it, but they actually have no special expertise for it. And those are the reasons why I think sometimes people develop mistrust in science.

In this episode, I sit down with Charles Piller, the investigative journalist for Science Magazine, who is behind some of the biggest exposés on scientific fraud. His recent book, Doctored, has uncovered widespread corruption by self-interested researchers, government accomplices, and greedy corporations, all racing in the quest to cure Alzheimer's.

We discuss secret data manipulations, shocking misconduct, and the unsettling truth about how money and prestige can derail real progress. But it's not all doom and gloom. We also dive in into how we can rebuild trust and make science work better for everyone. So sit back, get comfortable, and let's jump right into this eye-opening conversation.

I'm excited to speak with you because a passion of mine in the healthcare space is talking about trust in science, in medicine. When I have a patient sitting across from me, the most important thing that I think about is the doctor-patient alliance. How can we get onto the same page?

I'm basically a robot saying science words, and if they're not landing, they're not making an impact, I'm not helping. These days, I feel like there's been a tremendous loss of trust in our scientific institutions. A, have you seen that happen? And B, what do you think is leading the way for that to occur?

Well, I think it's tragic. Myself, as someone who tremendously support scientific research and the wisdom of doctors, truly. It's been very sad to see the decline in public understanding of how important those processes are. I think it's due to a couple things. One is I think there are people in society who are using
