What the people say about us
S-M-R-T!
I can feel myself getting smarter with every new episode I listen to and it doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would!
Great podcast!
While a few other podcasts feature scientists' latest research, this one is unique in that the interviewee also explains the path which led him or her into science in general and a field of research in particular. Hope to hear more soon!
Casual yet comprehensive
The "fireside chat" style of this podcast makes a traditionally complex, and sometimes intimidating, field much more approachable. Looking forward to future podcasts!
