AZEEZAT FAJEMBOLA

A new medical paper is published every thirty (30) seconds, most humans do not read and understand scientific publications, this shows in our daily lives. We take you to the world of publications, and to the lives of scientists. Our aim is for the world, in and outside the world of STEM to understand publications from the author's perspective holistically. We built a platform even a layman can understand and enjoy. Please join me every weekend on YouTube and various podcast platforms to learn, unlearn and relearn topics that affect us from the cell, tissues, organs, systems and institutions.
