We're coming in from the field (kind of) to explore science we can't see & issues we don't talk about in our next series, Invisible Forces! Listen along as we talk nuclear power ☢️🔌, magnetic fields 🧲🌾, pollution-filled clouds 🏭☁️, & more! brnw.ch/21wBFOh #SciComm

Third Pod from the Sun is ending! (At least for now.) Join hosts @EcologyOfShane, @studio9201, and others, to reflect on the highs of the podcast over the years. brnw.ch/21wEgjP
An image of outer space, with Mercury and Venus in the background and in the foreground what should be Earth, but Earth is in fact a microphone in glittering blue-green. It is truly Third Pod from the sun.

Why are screams so powerful? There’s a scientific reason, and in this week’s #Halloween ep, we talk with @Luc_H_Arnal to learn more. #SciComm #podcast #scary brnw.ch/21wDZ7f

Fruit flies & fruiting bodies: #zombie fungus comes for insects in this week's #Halloween ep, where we talked with @zombieflied@drosophila.social #SciComm #podcast brnw.ch/21wDTv5
A fruit fly with glowing red eyes and a white/cream abdomen clings upside-down to a leaf while text says, “ZOMBIFIED: A fungus turned these household pests into super-spreading zombies?!”

Video-game #volcanos have molten lava, but would they be even more fun if they included pyroclastic flows and the effects of ash? In our newest #Halloween ep, @grumpy_volcano talks about scary volcanos (& her new work w @EnvAgency) #SciComm #podcast brnw.ch/21wDyG3
An image that is slightly pixelated like a video game of a person in a protective suit standing at the edge of a lava-filled crater, with the words Volcano Simulator above them.

The video game & TV show #TheLastOfUs captivated audiences w/ the concept of a fungal pandemic. But what’s the likelihood a human fungal pandemic could happen? We're talking #fungi in our next #Halloween -inspired ep! brnw.ch/21wDleu #SciComm #Podcast

As a child in India, @owlsagan picked up Carl Sagan’s Cosmos🔭, & it may have changed his life. From that moment on, he was enraptured w/ the universe 🌌. We talked w/ Nithin about plasma fields, science social class, & who science really should serve. brnw.ch/21wCQV5

If you wanted to do research on Venus (well, about), how would you do it? Via satellites? Modeling on computers? How about flying around in an airplane in Iceland? @DrCascioli of @NASAGoddard talks Venusian (that's a word) gravity this week! brnw.ch/21wCsYQ #NASA
