#21: Making Biology Fun for Kids via science games with Poorti Kathpalia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can a game make children more curious about biology? In this video podcast episode, I speak with Poorti Kathpalia - neuroscientist, science communicator and creator of The Gene Game - about making science more engaging for children in India. Poorti shares how she noticed a gap: there were few playful, accessible ways for young learners to explore biology outside the traditional classroom. Rather than waiting for something to change, she created The Gene Game: a hands-on, curiosity-led way to bri

#24 teaser: When Biology Meets Physics: The Power of Interdisciplinary Science with Eszter Papp (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when biology meets physics? We often learn science as a collection of separate disciplines: biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering. But the problems scientists encounter in the real world rarely fit so neatly into those categories. In this conversation, biophysicist Eszter Papp explains how bringing physics into biological questions can help us understand everything from the movement of proteins to the technology inside our smartwatches. Think about your smartwatch me
#25 teaser: The Forgotten Women Who Changed Medicine with Nina Chhita (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if some of the women who helped shape modern medicine never made it into the history books? While researching women in science, Nina kept encountering the same place: Harlem Hospital . Again and again, accounts of remarkable medical breakthroughs contained a small reference to the hospital. But the more Nina discovered, the more she wondered: why had she never heard about this place, or about the women whose work helped shape medical history? That question became the beginning of a five-yea
#22 teaser: Building a Career in Science Communication with Margot Wohl (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it actually take to build a career in science communication ? Science communication is becoming an increasingly recognised career path, but getting started can feel like a classic catch-22: you need experience to get the job, but how do you get experience if nobody gives you the opportunity in the first place? In this teaser from my conversation with Margot , we talk about exactly that. Margot is an experienced science communicator who got into the field at a time when science communic
