The How to Science podcast uses audio storytelling to highlight the research and faculty of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts by connecting audiences with researchers to make the scientific method accessible; leveraging increasingly popular technology to democratize science for diverse audiences; addressing an increasing thirst for scientific literacy and knowledge; presenting LSA as an approachable, entertaining guide that can point out the impact of LSA research on the world; and showing that scientists are human by taking them out of the ivory tower and off their traditional pedestal.
From the Judges
This podcast makes science and scientific researchers accessible. It also helps explain the impact this research has on our daily lives. The host is natural and the first-person style in the beginning of the show brings researchers to life and makes them human and accessible. The Q&A after the fact allows listeners, in some cases, to have some of their own questions answered.
