Very well done a great addition to the Naked Scientist family.
I've listened to naked scientists and naked genetics for over a decade and it is consistently a balanced and exceptional quality program. Accuracy is always to priority, and the delivery of the program is well thought through. I wish I could say the same of other pod casts including the often inaccurate and offensive BBC Science Hour, but with show like Naked Genetics you've got what you need
I have been searching for a great, well informed but still enjoyable podcast on genetics. I’m a biology student and though I’ve taken many genetics and evolution courses, I’m still learning a great bit! I LOVE the monthly genes that get discussed!
I’ve listened to the 3 most recent ones. As a doctoral student in genetics, I’ve still learned quite a few things and received some interesting insights from then podcast thus far. I hope it comes back!!!!?
This was one of my favorite podcasts! It provides a digestible overview of some of the most important news in the (very broad) realm of genetics. The host, Dr. Kat Arney, is grounded and engaging.
I think this podcast is best for folks who have a basic working knowledge of genetics, and an interest in “pop science!”
