Welcome everyone to the Struggling Scientists Podcast. This is a podcast by Scientists, for Scientists. But also for aspiring Scientists, anyone science adjacent, and perhaps even hobbyists.

In this podcast, we will talk about Science and the people behind Science. Website: www.thestrugglingscientists.com
