Nick Edwards brings something rare to the mic: a combination of humility, curiosity, and genuine human warmth that makes Once a Scientist more than just a podcast—it’s a conversation that sticks with you.
The conversation and topics are great but the quality of voices are really bad, especially the guests, quite annoying to listen to.
As someone actively applying to PhD programs in neuroscience, this podcast has been a joy to listen to and learn from. I’ve known for a while now I don’t want to pursue academia following my PhD, and even though I know there are so many career opportunities for PhDs out there, it’s so nice to hear the stories and trajectories of people who’ve made it through the trenches.
Great content. I love the honesty and how people can share openly.
Fantastic pod. Nick does a great job of asking pointed, insightful questions while still keeping the conversation lighthearted and entertaining. The long-form interviews are perfectly tailored to the background / job sector of the guest and are a thoroughly enjoyable listen—especially for those long afternoons at the lab bench :) Super helpful for learning about potential future pathways within and outside of academia for those of us early in our scientific careers. Keep up the great work!!
