The Journal Club

  • Summary

  • This podcast is structured as a short scientific journal club where I will discuss scientific papers and relate their major findings. Generally, journal clubs have a scientific audience ranging from college science students to university professors. And the communication during the sessions is of scientific jargon that is very niche to the field of study. For this podcast, I try very hard to use everyday language to explain science. It is not going to be easy, but it will get better over time. I am also a science student, so in this podcast, we learn science together!
