    Great host
    The host’s question and conclusion for the research helps me to understand the science. Plus, the host’s voice is beautiful.

    Great questions from host
    I'm a PhD scientist in life sciences; I listen to a lot of science research podcasts and this one is the best I've found so far, definitely superior to similar offerings from Nature/Science/PNAS. The interviews are interesting and the host asks insightful and thoughtful questions which really dig into the science being discussed. I would encourage anyone interested in learning more life sciences to give this a listen. Keep up the good work!
