Words by Lucie Yammine Edited by Laurie Herviou, Conchi Izquierdo and Rinki Saha A few cliches about scientists are that we constantly think about science, always buried in some obscure book with formulas that only us can understand or mixing colorful solutions and exploding chemicals. While this might be an exaggeration - to some extent, we do think science, see science and talk science. Then, why wouldn’t we listen to science too? What do you listen to when you are seated in front of your computer analyzing excel spreadsheets, when you are coding or when you are at your bench doing experiments? Is it the same playlist that you always listen to? Why don’t you try listening to some podcasts! Depending on the length of the episodes you’d prefer, you could try one or the others in this list. Although not exhaustive, this list could help you get started. Although many podcasts are available, their subjects are not always as broad as the ones in this list, but maybe you can find a good fit for you elsewhere. If you are interested in astronomy, you should know that NASA has different podcasts, among which the appraised Houston We Have a Podcast. If you are more of an animal lover, you could give Creature Features a try. What about your interest in human behavior? Well, NPR’s podcast Invisiblia is one I would recommend listening to. Without further ado, here are my top 3 science related podcasts, that you can find on most podcasts hosting platforms.  This podcast is a big mix of different topics. You can learn about anything without any prior knowledge on the subject. Because all-ologies are beautiful from archaeology, ecology, neurology to psychology; so choose your topic and learn more about it. The host, Alie Ward, invites specialists to discuss science and makes asides to explain in simpler words some technical terms, which makes it accessible whatever your scientific level is. Most episodes are over an hour long to deeply dive into these-ologies. If you’ve ever wondered how many babies can mom scorpios have, you can check the Scorpiology episode, and go from there!

Not surprising that a lot of the latest episodes are coronavirus related but with 9 seasons and hundreds of episodes, you will definitely find some subjects of interest! The episodes are roughly 30 minutes long, and the host Wendy Zukerman's jovial voice makes them easy to listen to when you just need a little pinch of science. Personal choices to try out are Race: Can We See It In Our DNA or Chiropractors.

That might help clear your mind with a two or three minutes long podcast. Take a look at the hundreds of podcasts in this series or learn more about how Flamingos Can Be Picky about Company or how Mars-Quakes, Could Reveal How Mars Was Built here.

Or maybe you are outraged that one of your favorite podcasts didn’t make it into my short-list, tell me more!
