The Ignorance Podcast

The Ignorance Institute

The Ignorance Podcast presents a new way to communicate science and research that emphasizes questions and curiosity. It immerses listeners in a researcher's way of thinking: how they grew to become who they are, why they think what they think, how their research shapes them, and their vision for the world. theignoranceinstitute.org

About

The Ignorance Podcast presents a new way to communicate science and research that emphasizes questions and curiosity. It immerses listeners in a researcher's way of thinking: how they grew to become who they are, why they think what they think, how their research shapes them, and their vision for the world. theignoranceinstitute.org
