About No, I have not ALWAYS been a scientist

This podcast shares stories from people in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields who have had a nonlinear/nontraditional career pathway or have spend a significant amount of time outside the STEM fields. The goal is to break the "born scientist" stereotype, to foster a sense of belonging and inclusivity in the STEM fields, and to encourage more people, especially students, to pursue their careers in STEM regardless of their backgrounds.

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.
