We’ve got questions, and nerds have answers! Fuelled by a curiosity to understand the world around us – from the critters beneath our feet to the far reaches of the galaxy - Nerdin’ About is a podcast where passionate nerds tell us about their research, their interests, and what they’ve been Nerdin’ About lately. A spin-off of Nerd Nite Vancouver, a community lecture series held in a bar, Nerdin’ About is here to explore these questions with you. Hosted by rat researcher Kaylee Byers (she/her) and astronomy educator Michael Unger (he/him). Elise Lane (she/her) is our Mixing Engineer. Music by Jay Arner. Phone jingle by Pramodh Senarath Yapa. Artwork by Armin Mortazavi.

We're back in your feed this week for a special Bonus episode! In last week’s episode we spoke with Neuroscientist Rackeb Tesfaye about sleep science. As a part of that conversation we also discussed ‘Broad Science’ an initiative founded by Rackeb aimed at making science more inclusive, engaging, and intersectional through podcasting. In this Bonus episode, you’ll learn about ‘Broad Science’, how it came to be, and why its mission is so important. You’ll also hear a clip from the ‘Broad Science’ episode ‘The Social Life of DNA’ which dives into some of the science of genetic testing. You can find 'Broad Science' at broadscience.org and on Twitter @science_broads. A transcript of the episode can be found here: https://bit.ly/3dUsVRx
