Science Snacks
Eric
This snack-sized podcast helps you get smarter, brought to you by a Science Liaison! Every episode, I take one or more scientific papers and make them easily digestible. A podcast where you learn about Nobel Prize winning scientists, current science, old science, weird science, and important stories of science. A show that doesn't take a PhD to understand (because I certainly don't have one) and brings science a little closer to you.
