Providing a quick update on life and Season 5 of Metaphorigins coming in May 2023. I also wanted to share that my short story called &quot;The Climate Solution&quot;, part of a series of writing pieces under the Scalene Writing project, was published in the Canadian journal Health Science Inquiry (out of the University of Toronto). In this floating episode, I perform one of my favourite poems I&apos;ve written that was in this story, “Binary”.

S5E1 - Audacious Audio & Public Speaking with Alex Cloherty (PhD Student)

For lovers of reading, writing, science and general communication. This podcast will aim at acknowledging the origins of metaphors/idioms and the importance of effective scientific communication. My ambition is to spread knowledge on how we articulate concepts and the creative aspect of diction. Most episodes will focus on the origins of expressions, words of high regard, and the meaning behind them. This can overall allow us to acknowledge that words have just as much power as actions.​ As another aspect to this podcast, I will also speak about the importance of science communication in modern day, whether to the scientific community or to the public. Science communication is essential to inspire the next generation, guide societal discourse, and solve the problems we face today collaboratively and efficiently.
