Gin and Topic

We chat a lot about science on this podcast but this week we’re going a bit meta and chatting about sharing science. Although, in a much more academic sense… We’re joined by Emma Smith, a Journal Development Editor at eLife, an independent nonprofit committed to improving the way scientific research is reviewed and communicated. They’re going to be answering the questions: How do we know what science to trust and does that process work? What can we do to improve it?Cheers!

It’s the third and final in this accidental swampy theme! And this week it’s getting toxic…We’re joined by Dr. Will J Brownlie, an Environmental biologist at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. But don’t worry, Will isn’t the toxic one and nor is this week’s gin. We’re talking Toxic Algae. And more specifically, should we be worried about toxic algal blooms?Cheers!
