from Carry the One Radio · host Carry the One Radio

Ready to get blasted with science? We recorded five different PhD students as they summarized their entire thesis in 3 minutes or less. The challenge was to describe their research with as little jargon as possible, for a general audience. You’ll hear about everything from cancer, to the developing embryo, to how dieting might make you smarter. Music from today’s episode includes: Easy Jam and Ecossaise in E-flat from Kevin MacLeod; 60s Quiz Show from Podington Bear, Bumper Tag from John Deley, The Creek from Topher Mohr and Alex Elena.
