I love science podcasts like this so much more than high-production ones aimed at mainstream (CBC’s Quirks & Quarks the best of that bunch). Real scientists talking to others in their field in deep & meaningful way. Sure you don’t get every bit of terminology or concept referred to, but...Read full review »

Informative and scientifically inspiring. Hosts and guests are excellent.

I think Vincent should stick to Virology and not politics. I resent his arrogance as he is neither educated in or has any real world work experience in the politics and economics he is so eager to push in his podcast, especially when he is surrounded with others that also have no real experience...Read full review »

Great one to learn while pipetting in the lab!

This is a breath of fresh air, it’s like a weekly journal club!

I like this show. It’s a painless way to learn.

prof elde and prof racaniello together make a splendid team. This is an absolute must listen to anyone interested in evolution in general.

Thank you for the time and effort finding such interesting topics and then deconstructing them in an accessible way. Please keep going

I’m a high school bio teacher who used to do molecular bio research. I’m going through all the old episodes, reading the article featured before listening to each one. It’s been very rewarding!

I got hooked when Vincent did the episode on pigeon evolution in Salt Lake City. I’ve listened to every episode since.

This might just be my favorite science podcast. Nels and Vincent dissect a wide range of studies reflecting the great diversity of research approaches in the field of evolutionary biology. From viral evolution and transposon domestication to Neanderthal introgressions and resolving Peto’s paradox...Read full review »

Part of the TWiX podcast empire, this engaging monthly evolution round-up deserves to be positively selected.

I had always shied away from direct discussions of evolutionary science. The first episode introduced the perspective so well that I kept listening. And I am so glad because I have had a whole world of fascinating and weird subjects opened up to my contemplation. I often find myself sending some...Read full review »

It’s nice to know that scientists are human and gossip like everyone else, but it does get tiresome waiting forever for them to get around to discussion of the topic. It’s as quick to read the paper.

The hosts bring their different backgrounds to bear on the topic of evolutionary biology and genetics. They also are able to get guests from among some of the foremost experts in their field (Hopi Hoekstra for example) as well as grad students, which is really generous of the hosts. That also...Read full review »

If you enjoy science, you’ll enjoy this addition to Dr. Racaniello’s This Week in X (virology, parasitism, evolution, microbiology), Immune, and Virus Watch. It gives me great delight to hear the conversations between Drs. Elde and Racaniello and their guests about recent studies and their...Read full review »

Why talk politics? Can I ever find a podcast or anything for that matter, that doesn’t share their viewpoints on politics.

The under occult core of biology is seldom explored or represented! Listen to this one! It's great!Read full review »

Thanks to Vincent and Nels for making this podcast. Fascinating stories and entertaining discussion. I highly recommend this one.
Sebmeier via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/20/16
The only problem with this podcast is that it's in its infancy and hasn't started to walk steadily yet. I can't wait until it gets up and starts running (i.e. appearing more often than once every whenever). MORE PLEASE! Dispelling misunderstandings about science? Where is it more...Read full review »

A great addition to the family of some of the best biology-themed podcasts out there. Definitely a pleasant listen for anyone with an interest in evolutionary biology, particularly as it relates to the micro-world.
MikeRT10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/16
After listening to the first three episodes I have a feeling I'm going to really enjoy this podcast. Nels does an excellent job as host providing a clear and concise explanation of the journal paper being examined. With genetics and evolution being hot areas of scientific inquiry these days...Read full review »

I was excited to hear that this podcast was on it's way and the first episode was as good as I had hoped. Facinating to hear about the nuances surrounding evolution from people who really know the science.Read full review »
