About We Ask a Scientist

Notable scientists discuss the roles of instinct, uncertainty, and inspiration on their road to success. They talk about their approaches to collaborations and how they handle road blocks. As you listen you will find there is no one path or general principle to follow when doing biomedical research. Rather, there is freedom to question existing solutions, and freedom to imagine new possibilities.

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.
