ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
What is science? What do scientists do all day? Do they all wear lab coats? What if they study polar bears in the arctic? That sounds cold… We’ve all had these thoughts. Sometimes the world of scientific research seems like a giant black box. Let’s explore current research straight from mouths of the lab rats themselves.
