How much trust do you put in science?
Last time we got together we were talking about conspiracy theories and one of the things that emerged was that in a lot of cases, there is a heap of pretty solid scientific evidence to say the world isn't actually the way the conspiracy makes it out to be.
Moon landing conspiracists insist we never set foot on that orbiting chunk of rock despite all the material and data collected during the Apollo missions and then brought back to Earth.
Climate change sceptics label the influence of human activity on climate as a hoax and simply dismiss the mountains of data, the models and the professional conclusions of thousands of scientists and researchers as biased or corrupted.
It seems that when you see conspiracy theories you're also likely to find the rejection of science and scientific research.
But, it's not just conspiracy theorists that are susceptible to dismissing facts when it doesn't suit their world view.
In this summer edition of Beyond the Lab we sit down for an extended chat with cognitive psychologist Professor Stephan Lewandowsky from the University of Bristol.
One of the main focuses in Stephan's research is the patterns of thinking that go into whether we accept or reject science and it turns out that even if you subscribe to a every science feed on Facebook and loved your high school biology class, you're not necessarily immune from science denial.
