Read moreI’m very pleased to say that I was interviewed about my research into science podcasts as part of a ‘Career Feature’ article by Roberta Kwok for Nature. The article features insights from several excellent science communicators, so I am humbled to be in such esteemed company!
This came hot off the back of my study on science podcasting being published Royal Society Open Science the week prior. Link/DOI: https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.180932 I am really pleased to get this work published as it is my first piece of solo work and the peer-review was very thorough. I hope it’s of interest and helpful to the science communication community.
