- Science that makes you feel things
My new favorite podcast! Excellent for science lovers who want both the facts and the stories. Learning about microbes is always great for a nice worldview “trip” and this podcast does a great job of bringing this to life. The guest selections have all been really interesting and the topics couldn’t be better. I haven't found anyone else who is talking in this amount of detail about really specific microbes in a way that is accessible for the average listener. Thank you Julia!
