Who am I?
I am a science communicator, but I run my own popular show - The Science Pawdcast. My dogs, Bunsen and Beaker, have one of the biggest science communication accounts on Twitter, and we are growing on Tik Tok too! Through a lens of empathy, fun, and understanding I communicate science about humans, pets, and the world around us! Science is like magic, but real. Also, there is a ton of critical thinking done in science, to determine what is real and not real OR what could be plausible and what is magic, wishful thinking, or pseudoscience.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
The Science Pawdcast breaks down the latest science happening in the human world AND the pet world. Each episode will also bring you a guest to enthral you with their area of knowledge. You'll learn, be captivated, and laugh along with host Jason Zackowski. Pets and Science, it's the pawfect mix. You'll also get episodes of SciChat and PetChat which are the live shows from social audio. SciChat has an interview and Q+A with a scientist, while PetChat is a live community gathering for games and stories about pets! For Science, Empathy, and Cuteness!
What is my podcast playlist about?
My playlist includes the podcasts that I have taken great inspiration from. I have gotten the pleasure to interview a few of them for my show, and also learn from what they do. The podcasts are educational, fun to listen too, and provide a perspective of science through critical thinking and empathy. You'll learn topical science news, but also gain valuable skills in sniffing out scams and pseudoscience. I hope you love it!!
