The two most recent episodes of #BioUnethical with David Thorstad, Emily Largent, and @GovindPersad were very (very!) good.

Hosts Leah Pierson and Sophie Gibert may be doing reflective discussion better than anyone — outstanding stage setting, questioning, improvising, etc.

Episode 18 David Thorstad: Evidence, uncertainty, and existential risk
... We discuss existential risks-threats that could permanently destroy or drastically curtail humanity's future-and how we should reason about these risks under significant uncertainty.

Episode 19: Emily Largent and Govind Persad: Is bioethics ok?
...we consider critiques of bioethics coming from inside and outside of the field. In light of our recent survey of US academic bioethicists, we discuss who bioethicists are, how they are trained, and how they can better promote ethical decision-making in medicine, science, and public health.
