Spark Science is a science podcast hosted by Dr. Regina Barber DeGraaff - Western Washington University. It has 100 episodes, with the latest published July 2021.
Our tagline is sharing stories of human curiosity. We want to make science more accessible and less intimidating. This is done by sharing narratives that include scientists’ backgrounds, humor, work, and struggles. We strive to humanize the “scientist” so that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) may become relatable and welcoming.
