66: Black Butterfly

Tyrone Hayes and the Syngenta Atrazine Scandal

Scientist Tyrone Hayes discovered that the herbicide Atrazine causes sexual abnormalities in frogs, effectively turning males into females. His employer, Syngenta, allegedly spent years attempting to discredit him and prevent the publication of his data. The hosts discuss how this scientific suppression mirrors modern "woke" academic pressures and the prioritization of corporate profit over environmental health.
