In the spirit of A Christmas Carol, we've created a sort of That's Science ghost of Past, present, and Future! In this bonus Christmas episode, Amelia and Susan wrap up the past year of That's Science by looking back over the past sixteen episodes. As well as behind-the-scenes stories and recording disasters, we also get into what we've been up to since June and what to expect in the new year from us!

Thank you to everyone who listened this year, we're immensely proud of what we've created and couldn't have done it without all you lovely listeners!

Happy Christmas!

In this episode of What’s Science, Amelia discusses scientific discoveries with science historian and lecturer in zoology, Matthew Cobb. The pair chat maggot noses, fictitious ah-ha moments and less than accurate depictions of scientists while trying to work out what exactly a scientific discovery is. Make sure to listen to our outro to get a That’s Science update from Episode 1.

CW: Discussions of consent and sex

This week's episode of 'Is that Science?' Phoebe joins me and Amelia to talk about her work as a sex educator and illustrator. Our conversation ranges from all things gender and sexuality to science communication and the arts. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we loved having it :))
