New in Science Podcast

by Bryan Perrine

New in Science Podcast A short weekly show about the science discoveries you might have missed — and why they matter. Join Alex and Jordan each week as they unpack a single discovery, from antimatter held still in a trap to a lost branch of the human family finally getting a face, and explain what it actually means. Short, clear, and curious — no background in science required. New episodes every Sunday by 8 PM Eastern on Spotify; other platforms follow within a day or two, with short Science Fact specials from Priya between episodes.
