Learning Science (ft. Janine Jaramillo)

In a slightly different style of episode to usual, we’re joined by Janine Jaramillo for a chat full of reflections about science. We chat about our experiences studying and researching science, why science is so important and relevant to EVERYONE (whether you want to be a scientist or not), and some science-related life hacks to do with stress, drinking, and social media that we wish we’d known in high school! We also tackle a fun listener question about the brain – does it using it burn calories!? As always, you can find and follow us on social media! We are @curiosityrat on twitter and instagram, we have a facebook page, and you can send your listener questions in to [email protected] We also now have a Patreon! If you love our content and want to support us you can jump on to https://www.patreon.com/curiosityrat and become a patron. There is absolutely ZERO pressure but if you have as little as $1/month you can chuck it our way to help us out and show you appreciate all the time and effort that goes into making this show.
