Research. Infodemics. Conflict Resolution. Those three pillars form the foundation of Data Doyenne. Add Science and Health, Social Justice, and Leadership and you have truth telling through research and education. Curiosity required.
Welcome to Data Doyenne. I am Dr. Pauline Hoffmann and I am your podcast hostess. This podcast is for the data nerd and the data nervous. I take a look at what’s real and what is not. What is true and what is false. Come along on this journey with me.
PB&J: Ghosts of Conspiracies Past, Present and Future. Bah, humbug!
In the spirit of the season, Dr. Ben Gross and I channel Ebenezer Scrooge and detail our favorite conspiracies past and present. We also predict future conspiracies. How far into dystopia did we go? Listen to find out.
Also, Ben and I embraced the season and shared some favorite holiday movies as well as the best gifts we've ever gotten and what we resolve for the new year.
Fun was had by all. Why would you miss this?

PB&J - Pauline, Ben and Just the Facts: Voting, Elections, Politics
Welcome back to Dr. Ben Gross in our ongoing series of talks about conspiracy theories. This week we talk about voting, election and political conspiracy theories. Why do people believe these conspiracies? What are some of the common conspiracies? How do we handle them? What do we think?
We reference the following in our discussion:

PB&J - Pauline, Ben and Just the Facts - Aliens
Welcome back to Dr. Ben Gross in our ongoing series of talks about conspiracy theories. This week we talk about alien conspiracy theories. How and where did they originate? How long have people believed in aliens? Is it a problem that what was once a conspiracy now has some truth to it - or may have some truth to it? We discuss why people may believe in aliens from distrust of government to narcissism, to a need to belong, to a need for answers and certainty. We also have a message for aliens....if they are listening.
Shout out to @BillMaher @DavidDuchovny for a theory we are calling Duchovian.
