Off Embargo with the Australian Science Media Centre

With every scroll on our social feed, we're met with a funny image or video. But what if the memes we see are actually carefully planned and planted to get us to feel a certain kind of way?  Join us as we talk to Professor Crystal Abidin (insta: @wishcrysdotcom), a digital anthropologist and ethnographer of vernacular internet cultures from Curtin University. ---- OFF EMBARGO PODCAST: In a world awash with misinformation, the Australian Science Media Centre (AusSMC) takes you behind the scenes on what it takes to make reliable science information a breeze to read, watch, and listen to in the news. Tune in to get a look at interesting stuff that’s just off embargo, hear insightful interviews with scientists and journalists, and find out what goes on in the AusSMC office to ensure credible science hits the headlines. We’re giving you the stories behind the stories.  Hosted by Olivia Henry and Steven Mew.
