Science from the Source

Thousands of new scientific articles are published, daily. However, overcomplicated findings and technical jargon can limit the ability to understand even the basics of a paper. In Science from the Source, we attempt to demystify research findings by speaking directly to the study authors; thereby, allowing them to outline the important findings and necessary take-home messages. Through this podcast we hope to provide a resource that will allow anyone to understand even the most complex of studies.
