Professor David Lindsay reflects on a lifetime in agricultural science — from breakthroughs in animal fertility and nutrition to a deeper problem he believes still undermines science today: poor communication. In this episode, David explains why even brilliant scientists fail to connect with the public, how unclear writing and vague thinking erode trust, and why clarity, structure, and evidence matter more than ever. Along the way, he shares stories from the paddock, the lab, and the lecture theatre that reveal how real scientific progress is made. A thoughtful conversation on science, humility, and the responsibility that comes with expertise.
