Science Diction
From the people who make Science Friday, we bring you Science Diction, a bite-sized podcast about words—and the science stories behind them. Hosted by SciFri producer and self-proclaimed word nerd Johanna Mayer, each episode of Science Diction digs into the origin of a single word or phrase, and, with the help of historians, etymologists, and scientists, reveals a surprising science connection.
Undiscovered
Undiscovered is a podcast about the left turns, missteps, and lucky breaks that make science happen. From a gay activist inventing a new science of homosexuality at the turn of the 20th century to a shrimp biologist fighting to prove her research isn’t a waste of taxpayer money, hosts Annie Minoff and Elah Feder tell the stories of the people behind the science, and the people affected by it.
