First-Person Science

Interested in cutting-edge neuroscience research? Tired of exciting information being hidden behind those pesky paywalls? Introducing the First-Person Science Podcast: The 1st and only podcast dedicated to in-depth exploration of neuroscience research articles with first-hand perspectives and narratives from the authors themselves. FPS introduces a new way to discover and engage with neuroscience research. We aim to break-down barriers to science communication by explaining jargon and complicated concepts in entertaining and succinct ways in a 'journal club' style to encourage collaboration and discussion between scientists and the public, alike. In each episode, a scientist joins the show to speak about their recent 'first-author' manuscript. We walk viewers through each figure "1 bar graph at a time" using panel-to-panel summaries with video and visual illustrations to aid understanding of complex topics. Listeners can expect to learn cool facts and get a general background for everything related to the episode's journal article through a visually immersive 'journal club' approach to the podcast, Ft. narratives and first-person perspectives from the authors/scientists themselves. It's a fine line to manage, but we're doing our best! And the more feedback from people from all levels of background/understanding, the better! Listen to our podcast on itunes, spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. See all of our content at YouTube.com/FirstPersonSciencePodcast
