We believe science is an interdisciplinary & socioculturally diverse human pursuit.
That's why our show focuses on highlighting the work and experiences of individuals who come from a variety of different backgrounds and academic fields. Much like a synapse serves as a connecting point for neurons, this podcast aims to serve as a junction between science and society to promote international collaboration and unity.
