HONR 491A SRF Senior Seminar

"The last couple of years have seen a real surge of podcasts in many different genres and gladly this has also been the case when it comes to podcasts totally devoted to science. Today, most scientific journals have podcasts of their own where they discuss new articles, often with the authors themselves. This allows for a great medium for researchers to get the chance to, often in a lengthier time format, explain and deepen the analysis of the research behind their newly published article. The podcast format is therefore often considered a great way the get the research “out there” and to get the public involved and thereby helps increase transparency. As editors of PLOS ECR we see science podcasts as great tool for ECRs to listen to established researchers and to get valuable insights of new studies and also to get tips to further advance their own careers. Here we want to share some of our favorite scientific podcasts."

"Forget the mega-podcasts and listen in to these up-and-coming independent scientists creating their own podcasts! You’ll get less advertisements and more truth from people much like you. It’s a special look into the day-to-day scientist life that big-name podcasts often don’t dive into. These podcasts cover science, biology, physics, chemistry and everything in between! Learn how to deal with messy lab mates, how to ask your professor for more vacation, how to handle bias and racism in your university research setting and hundreds of stories of scientists in unique situations overcoming their own personal adversity."
