Science Sucks

Ive Velikova

Science is awesome. It’s fascinating, it sparks curiosity, and it’s the reason most of us are alive today. Sometimes, it sucks... from applying for funding, to spending hours in the lab, to lack of representation in many science fields. The show is hosted by Ive Velikova, a Master's candidate in science communication at Laurentian University. Each week, we talk about the ins and outs of scientific research and how it impacts our lives. Welcome to Science Sucks!
