We’re kicking off Season 5 with a roundtable chat between the hosts! In this episode, we look back at some of the most interesting research we’ve come across over the past year—those discoveries that made us say, “Whoa, that’s amazing!” From scavenger birds and learning bees to tackling sustainability challenges, we’re covering a little bit of everything.
But that’s not all—we’re also pulling back the curtain on our own research. Each of us shares what we’ve been working on and what’s coming next. Whether it’s finishing a thesis, communicating science, or chasing new ideas, we’re giving you an inside look at the work we do when we’re away from the mic.
Plus, we dive into the bigger picture: how science intersects with politics, sustainability, and society. Where is research heading? What should we be paying attention to in the coming year? Join us for a fun, insightful, and curiosity-fueled conversation to kick off Season 5!
