ID, The Future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.

To critically evaluate scientific claims, it helps to think like a scientist.

But what are the good qualities of a scientist, and how can we use them to evaluate the claims of Darwinism?

Welcome to ID the Future. I'm your host Andrew McDermid.

And today I get to welcome Dr. Marcy Reeves to the show to remind us how to think like a scientist and properly assess the claims of neo-Darwinism.

Dr. Reeves is a fellow and associate research scientist at Discovery

Institute's Center for Science and Culture. She earned a PhD in cell and molecular biology

with a neuroscience concentration from the University of Hawaii. She also holds a BS and animal

science from the University of Delaware. She previously worked as a research

scientist with Biologic Institute investigating the origin of protein families and whether

bacterial enzymes can be co-opted to perform new functions. She has published her research in journals

such as cell molecular life sciences, biochemical journal, antioxidants and redox

signaling, the Journal of Biological Complexity, and Biocomplexity. Welcome to the podcast, Marcy.

Thank you, Andrew. I am excited to be here and talk about science. Yeah. Well, this is actually the first time I've interviewed you and I do the future.

So again, a hearty welcome.

And I did want to first ask you where your interest in science came from and why you

chose to study animal science and biology.

I became interested in science or really am interested in science because I am a twin.

And that makes me genetically special.

And so I think I've always had sort of an ingrained love for things that are science and things that are unique and learning about that kind of stuff.

And so, yeah, I wanted to study science.

I also love animals.
