SPECIAL: ONE YEAR WITH AMINDR!

What role does social media play in academia and science communication nowadays? How can we keep our biases from interfering with fair reporting and objective coverage? Do we need to revise our inclusion criteria for the papers we cover? How relevant is the categorization of research by disease when there is so much overlap in underlying mechanisms? And how much responsibility do we hold through our podcast in shaping people’s understanding of these papers?

Today you will hear from Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Elyn Rowe, and Naila Kuhlmann,  for a special celebratory episode for our anniversary. That’s right, November 12th marks 1 year since Sarah and Ellen met at a showcase at the Allen Institute in Seattle and spoke about partnering up to launch a podcast. Elyn and Naila joined not long after in the spring of 2020. You will hear us reminisce over this year, reflect on what we have learned through launching and managing this podcast, and discuss our future direction.
