Generally sound, but weird pronunciations of technical terms

“I areas that I know something about, Lee seems accurate and understandable. But I don't understand where he gets some of his pronunciations! E.g. right after a fine explanation of the parts of the term "polymerase" he continues saying it in a way that entirely obscures the "polymer-" in it. Also, 3 nucleotides can constitute a codon, not a codone (which starts to sound like the drugs hydrocodone and oxycodone!). If these are regionalisms, he needs to say something about it, like "Though I don't in general have a British accent, you might want to know that I trained in the UK and pronounce some terms in their way". (Also, please don't rely on online pronunciation generator sites that are merely algorithmic! Yes, you can find one or two that say pah-LIM-eraze, but that doesn't make it right.)”Read full review »

“Other than the terrible Bill Nye episode and Dr. Stierwalt's vocal fry at the end of every single sentence, this podcast is really good.
(And I know women get more criticism for their voices on radio than men, so what I said might not be fair)”Read full review »
