  • Like Clear Water

    A fantastic podcast! Ally takes a difficult to understand subject and underlines the importance while explaining the mystery and details in context in a way that is both captivating and intellectually stimulating, doing what, as she says correctly, explaining scientists work clearly to the layman. Extremely interesting and easy to listen to, not only from a scientist, but an experienced authority in her field. I plan to tune in to the rest of her work!
