The Straight from a Scientist podcast.
Science podcasts from the source.
Fresh, real, and raw science podcasts: The Straight from a Scientist Podcast brings a new style to science podcasts. Informal, real conversations with real researchers lend insight into the lives, minds, and personalities of top experts in various fields. These conversations probe the limits of scientific understanding, as well as describing the methods, future expectations, and challenges of the research, all straight from the scientist working on it.
There are two types of science podcasts: informal interviews with real scientists about their research, life, and path into science, and roundtable talks that breakdown broader science terms.
Not just podcasts: We’re also working on article breakdowns infographics that will serve as companion pieces to some of the more complex science terms mentioned in the podcasts– check out the Episode 31 companion piece, on the Gut Brain Axis written by Kieth Reed on Miguel Mateas’ review!
