“The CBER Lunchbox Podcast aims to highlight what it's like to be a scientist. In each episode, we will sit down with a guest for an informal chat about how they got into science, what their day-to-day is like, and the ups and downs of being a scientist. Through this podcast, we want to learn more about the people behind the lab coats and PowerPoints, showcasing the diversity of people within science, of ways of getting (or falling) into science, and the lives we lead (both in- and outside our science jobs).” … CBER Lunchbox Podcast team
