Podcasts are a great way to connect with what’s happening in science in the Midwest and across the nation. Two podcasts hosted by scientists and available for general audiences are linked below.
Seeking a Scientist hosted by Notre Dame’s own Kate Biberdorf
The future is scary, but it doesn’t have to be! Host Kate Biberdorf (aka Kate the Chemist) is seeking scientists to guide us into the great unknown. From fungus zombies to feeling young forever, we’re puzzling out what our world could look like — and how we can get ready. A podcast from KCUR Studios and the NPR Podcast Network. Supported by The Stowers Institute For Medical Research.
Rust Belt Science hosted by Notre Dame Postdoc Maggie Fink and IUSB Professor Shahir Rizk
Down-to-earth conversations about cutting-edge research. We sit down with passionate scientists to dive into their work, making complex ideas easy to grasp for everyone—no lab coat required! But it’s more than just science talk. We pull back the curtain to show that researchers are everyday people, living and working in our communities. Our conversations dive into how science connects to art, culture, mythology, and all other aspects of our daily lives.
