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.

Whether it’s overuse of acronyms, or inaccessible communication, there are many pitfalls scientists and science communicators can fall into. Kaylee and Michael dig in with their former science communication mentor from Banff Beakerhead to find some solutions, which as it turns out is exactly what you’ll hear in this episode: a fun in-person conversation!
