Episode 1: An Explosive Beginning

Welcome to Science Research Weekly, the successor to my first podcast, Statistics Weekly.  This abbreviated trial run of an episode includes: a research article on microbes from a volcanic island, the largest stellar catalogue to date, Arduino project ideas for 2023, and NSF Research and Development grants.
