“People want so desperately to trust science, but scientists aren’t approachable or relatable. To be a proficient scientist, you have to be able to communicate effectively.” – Leah Elson

Intro

I am so excited to welcome my science girl crush, Leah Elson, to the show to talk about a variety of things: her book, There Are No Stupid Questions in Science, why she’s so passionate about being a public science communicator, her pivot from sportscasting into this field, and how she is working to give herself more grace and place less pressure on herself.

If you’re a fellow high-functioning codependent, I really think this is one you’ll relate to!
