Smart, Informative, Concise.
This is a fantastic podcast that offers a really great overview of new science. The science journalists that produce and record the show are great communicators. To you all, 5 stars. To the people running the business side of the podcast, 1 star. Seriously, for the new briefing chats it’s 2 minutes of ads for 10 minutes of science. The full show has up to 4 minutes of ads?? Seriously, I think Nature’s profit margins are big enough to make this an ad free podcast. Our APCs aren’t enough for you a... more
Informative and interesting comments on papers from the journal. The Science podcast is more engaging and enjoyable to listen to with an equal amount of information. Unexpected because I have a slight preference for Nature as a journal.
