Intellectual Health - Make Mistakes with Rasha Aridi
from The YOGI M.D. Podcast · host Rasha Aridi
A few years ago, Rasha Aridi was studying to become a wildlife conservationist when she realized that she enjoyed nerding out about science with her friends and family more than she actually enjoyed being a scientist. Now as a science journalist, Rasha strives to engage broad audiences in the world of science and discovery by turning complex topics into fun, accessible, and relevant content. One of her guiding principles is "science is for everyone," so she strives to make science more transparent and easier to understand for audiences of all backgrounds. Plus, Rasha hopes that her work can spark a bit of curiosity, joy, and excitement for science, just as it does for her. Her venture into science journalism has led her to write and work for outlets like The Guardian, Science Magazine, Smithsonian Magazine, and NPR.
