Today we released the last #TinyMatters episode for 2022. We chatted with Latif Nasser of @radiolab, who was a total joy to have on the show.

Below's a little snippet from our conversation, about how science has never operated in a vacuum and how that's not just essential to acknowledge when reporting but actually makes the stories themselves more interesting.

The Ig Nobel Prize celebrates discoveries that are unusual—things that make people laugh and then think. I consider it the younger, much more fun sibling of the renowned Nobel Prize. This week on #TinyMatters, we chat with @MarcAbrahams about the history of the prize and share some of our favorite winners, including this one📽️👇

Hello there! I’m a biomedical scientist turned writer based in DC.

🧫🧬🔬✍️

Over the years I’ve held a range of titles—scientist, journalist, editor, science video host—but today I’m the exec producer & co-host of the science podcast #TinyMatters. I also freelance quite a bit, writing for outlets like The New York Times and Scientific American.

Find me on Twitter at the same handle (samjscience) where I continue to post, for now at least.
