"Making Connections Within What We Know"

This episode features Fred Cohan, a Professor in the Biology, Environmental Studies, and Integrative Sciences departments, and his student Isaac Thorman ’21, a Neuroscience and Behavior Major and a Chemistry Minor.

Dick and we have a conversation about science fiction, learning to enjoy reading, writing scientific research, and crafting stories. Here's what Isaac had to say about why he nominated Professor Cohan: "Fred is a professor who teaches both science and writing. In our conversations, we often discuss how we can infuse emotion into our scientific writing. He’s a firm believer in creativity and craft."

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
