This is what learning looks like!
This is a great podcast! I have a B.S. in chemistry and worked as a chemist for several years and now teach high school chemistry. I listen to this podcast on my commute. I’ve listened to several episodes and I’m hooked. As a scientist and teacher, I love that this podcast models what true teaching and learning looks like. Some might think there is too many distractions / chit chat, or might dislike the personification of atoms and molecules — I disagree. True learning is not a straight line and should be fun and inviting. I love the duo between an expert chemist and a novice learner. It models the learning process. It is helpful to have the novice there because Jam gives Melissa feedback! If he doesn’t understand what she said, chances are that a novice listener wouldn’t have understood it either. So, it is nice that he is there to keep her in check per se. Otherwise she might get carried away about nuances that only chemists care about or understand. The podcast makes it great for everyday listeners. It also helps me have an idea of common questions and misconceptions that my students might have regarding certain topics. It also gives me great ideas of how to relate topics to real-world phenomena in order for my students to better understand and appreciate chemistry. Using real-world phenomena to explain science is one of the fundamental theories for scientific teaching these days, so you’re awesome! Thanks for all the ideas, info, and fun!! Yay chemistry!

The hosts are super fun to listen to, and I’ve learned so much already. I had a ton of questions after listening, reached out to them about it and they were so great in providing me with answers. Definitely adding this show to my podcast lineup!

Melissa does a great job of explaining technical things in a way that’s easy for anyone to understand even if you don’t have much of a science background. The topics are quite interesting and you’ll learn a lot!
