Not That Kind of Doctor

Really Fantastic podcast. I really enjoyed listening to episode 18. The hosts did a great job asking questions. Dr. Adeniji's backgroung and upbringing is quiet interesting. Science is alot of fun and it is great to hear from different speakers with different scientific backgrounds. I certainly look forward to future episodes.

I am fascinated by science, but often find myself tuning out when the jargon becomes too complicated. Leena and Shannon have created a great podcast that makes science more digestible for the layman’s palate. I also love how the podcast delves into the personal lives of the scientists. Thank you ladies for providing us with this new and insightful perspective on scientists and their groundbreaking work!

As a researcher who tends to get somewhat bogged down in my own niche, this podcast is a refreshing and fun way to broaden my awareness of the work being done in other fields. The hosts are relatable, the topics have (so far) been very cool, and the treatment is pitched at good level (i.e. neither patronising nor overly esoteric). There is a sponteneity which means that the digressions are sometimes more interesting than the original topics, and the back stories / idiosyncracies of the interviewees are a nice addition to the science talk. Long may it continue.

I commend the hosts for diving in and exploring the stories behind the science that we do. Sometimes, one can get so focused on the nuts and bolts of science that we don't talk about our influences that shaped our view of science or our hopes and desires of where we think our research can go. It's a well done podcast with alot of potential.
