About this listen

It's a podcast about funny, weird and wild science, presented by wilder scientists! In the style of a journal club, join Vicky, Bonnie and Jack where each episode one of them will present on some of the funnier and fun side science. From putting dead fish into MRIs to combining bread, AI and cancer pathology no topic is too big, too small or too weird for these three. Listen in, as together, they have a bit of a laugh and maybe even learn some lessons or two along the way.
