Engage Your Stem Cells

Not Another Science Podcast

How does the history of trust in scientists play a role in understanding the current ethical and practical dilemmas within communicating science? Join hosts Alix and… well, just Alix this time… as she speaks with Dr. Jan Barfoot about the power of two-way communication in science communication & public engagement. With a background in cancer cell biology, an extensive history communicating complex topics, and an affinity towards lichen, fungi and mosses, Jan engages us with top tips and insights that she has accumulated as she works on making science more accessible to you and I. Who knew you could cross face painting, story-telling and stem cell research?
