In the small amount of time we’ve been around, we’ve managed to nab some excellent partners and friends who have supported our endeavors from the beginning. Other websites, and other people who are passionate about Science Communication have taken it upon themselves to help us out, and it’s been tremendous. […]
I don’t know about you — but I never get tired of finding new podcasts to listen to! Especially science related ones. New ones like Undiscovered by Science Friday and the Femmes of STEM make my morning commute to work that much more enjoyable! So when I found out […]
Conference season is upon us and many are asking for your submissions to be sent already! Conferences are an excellent opportunity to share your research with peers in a professional (and sometimes large) setting.
