Otoscope podcast
Usually a medical tool used to check your ear canal, Otoscope is now also the name of a project led by PhD students at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS).
Learning how to surf the wave of podcast popularity, the students are producing interview-style episodes with the aim of discussing complex medical science topics in a way that is informative to other students who may not be familiar with biomedical jargon.
The podcast brings together experts on different fields of biomedical research with PhD students to discuss topics such as precision medicine, evolution and how genes affect behaviour. These topics are discussed to be informative to the bioscience-curious individual and to provide both the students and the public with tools to think critically about evidence and science.
