Real Science Real Life

Victoria and Daniel plan to develop an ongoing podcast, Real Science Real Life, that showcases the journeys of scientists in all types of disciplines and stages of life. We plan to discuss with our guests, their struggles and how they overcame them to get to where they are today. We also plan to learn more about the diverse backgrounds of our modern day scientists and to celebrate the different strengths each of us provides to the table of science. The importance of this is to show current and prospective scientists that they are not alone and they too can pursue a successful career in STEM.
