How We Met and Why We Started Make Science Make Sense

While translating complex research for broader audiences—and covering for each other as new moms—we noticed a pattern: incredible scientific work was being published every day, but much of it never reached the people who could benefit from it.

That’s why we created @MakeScienceMakeSense, a podcast where each episode takes one scientific paper and works directly with the scientists behind it to translate the research into a clear, engaging story about what the evidence actually means. Our first series will reveal the human relevance of science exploring the potential harms of air pollutants, changes in the ocean’s climate, the impact of child food advertising, the mental health of military veterans, and much more.

Before we launch our first episode translating alongside scientists, we invite you to get to know us a little better. In this special mini-episode, learn about our shared passion for science communication, and along the way, hear about our friendship, our very different personalities, and how singing Taylor Swift in a pedicab in New York City somehow became part of our story.

First our first full episode drops March 23. Please subscribe to stay connected!
