At my in-laws, I skyped with co-founder of LGBTSTEM Dr. Alex Bond, and we had a great chat about catastrophic malts, mercury in feathers, and building a community. I had another problem with sound this week - I hope to shake this before February's episodes!

Scientists have a bit of a reputation as a "straight man", dry humour, poor people skills, and very serious. But not every scientist is a straight man! 
Through SciCurious, get to know the queerer side of science, as I interview LGBTQ+ researches in STEM, and highlight the work they do in advancing science.

I'm your host, Dr. Brynley Pearlstone, and I'm a triple threat; I'm a gay man, I have a Ph.D in Astrophysics, and now, I'm a podcaster! Join me each month as I talk with LGBTQ+ people in STEM, and get to know the queerer side of science!
