Steaming Piles of Science

Episode 14: Stephanie Getz and Patrick Skelton on autism

My goal is to provide audience-driven discussion about basic science and scientific headlines we see in the media. Do you want to know about space travel? How are scientists studying addiction? What are some advances in climate research? Let me know what you are interested in by commenting on my website, or on my Facebook page, and I will get an answer for any science question you may have. Not satisfied with our expertise? In addition our discussions about science, we will be interviewing top researchers in each field we talk about to learn the brand new advances that are happening RIGHT NOW in their labs. Want more?! We will even ask questions or bring up concerns that YOU, the audience, has with the researchers to open communication lines that have never before been opened. We look forward to conversing with you and thank you for your support.
