After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

The Compass Series: Navigating Our Complex State of Affairs is a short mini-series exploring the critical topics at the intersection of science, policy, and human behavior.

In Episode 2: Embracing Uncertainty, we discuss the critical role of uncertainty in science and our everyday lives with Christie Aschwanden, an award-winning author, journalist, and the host and producer of Uncertain, a podcast from Scientific American. In this interview with Christie, we talk about the ways uncertainty drives our scientific curiosity and innovation, how embracing uncertainty means embracing creativity, and the downsides of uncertainty being weaponized.
