Behind the Breakthrough offers an insightful look into some groundbreaking research and innovations. It makes complex science more engaging for me (creative digital type). A must-listen, especially episodes on cancer and regenerative medicine.

Outstanding topic and outstanding speakers. Such a refreshing series putting a spotlight on people that matter, who are instrumental in improving our lives.
Loved listening to season 1. Great to know what leading Scientists are up to in our own backyard. If you can, bring on season 2!!!
Really impressed with this series. Such a broad range of subject matter, and totally incredible to learn about the scientific discoveries taking place here in Canada. Science is EXCITING, but the language of science is oh so daunting! I really think that the host and his guests have done a great job of explaining the complexities of their work in terms that are digestible to those of us not quite as savvy with our scientific lingo.
