| 0:27.1 | This is Milk Street Radio from PRX and I'm your host, Christopher Kimble. |
| 0:32.0 | Today we're joined by an icon, Madder Joffrey. She shares some of her favorite stories and foods, like the choice |

And ideally, if you have a well-constructed scientific community that has a diversity of perspectives, then out of that community can come objectivity.
