About this listen
Is This Wi-Fi Organic? is about science that affects us all. Science is the study of everything around us. But one impressive scientific breakthrough, the internet, has pervaded and encapsulated popular culture, and it is also making it harder and harder to know what is true - and what is not.
Learn how to separate internet fact from fiction. We live in the information age, giving us access to every datum ever collected and every opinion its originator thought fit to share. But with this newfound access to information comes a new challenge. Namely, how can you tell what information is true and what is false? In Is This Wi-Fi Organic? Dave Farina, author and science expert from the YouTube channel Professor Dave Explains, is here to help you fight confirmation bias and logical fallacies. In this book of science essays, you will learn:
- The real science behind controversial health issues like medications and vaccines
- What energy actually is-and how we use it each and every day
- A core of scientific knowledge, from biochemistry and molecular biology to theoretical physics, that will help you pull truths from the weeds of misinformation and outright lies

Enjoyable for your ride to work
David Farina provides a highly organized and concise overview of fundamental scientific concepts as an arsenal against misinformation and scientific misrepresentation that we commonly encounter online. I enjoyed listening to this on my daily commute, and was even inspired to pull out my college text books and refresh my understanding of biology and bioenergetics.
Per Dave's usual tact, information is presented in a frank and factual manner so as to be understood with an uncommon brevity that imparts lasting foundational comprehension. The majority of the book's domain is an exploration of the biological and physical sciences. It's counter, pseudoscience, presented as a 'dessert.' Dave also emphasizes that knowledge is not a tool to punish or bully those who adhere to other beliefs, where harmless, but used on those who harmfully prescribe or misrepresent the foundational knowledge that he presents in the book. I could swear Demon Haunted World as an inspiration for this shorter and less emphatic book.
Fun and quite enjoyable. Recommended for your commute or lunch break.

Empowering Book!
This book/audio book educates the reader on how to spot disinformation in society. Essential reading in this increasingly difficult to understand world. The author also has an educational YouTube channel - Professor Dave Explains. Do the world a favor and buy some books as really early x-mas gifts for those friends that we all have who have little to no understanding of science and fall prey to pseudoscience. Dave is an excellent science communicator who can break down science to its basics so anyone can understand it.

Great read
Loved Farina’s ruthless shredding pseudo-scientists and tid bits about cell biology and physics too.
