Great pod, love hearing from the people in the trenches doing the science work. The guest was inspiring!
Do you have a favorite bird? 🐓🦃🦤🦜🦚🕊🦩🦢🪶
Very friendly, down to earth hosts - creatives who love the world of science. Pity the show ended. It had promise!
I love this show. As a woman who loves science but got discouraged from pursuing it by the end of high school, this has reignited my curiosity. I’ve even gotten my mum into it.
I am loving Gillian’s caterpillar updates. Keep them coming! If there are ants outside either of your houses, please report on them too.
I listened to 2 consecutive episodes to try it out, and on those episodes each had a guest that used the word “onomatopoetic.” If that weren’t enough, the girls enthusiasm and curiosity makes life happier. Make your life happier. Listen to this podcast. And you just might learn something too. No, you definitely will learn something.
