All Around Science: Recent Episodes
All Around Science
A weekly podcast by two huge science fans discussing what’s new and interesting in science! Science is our window into incredible worlds, from impossibly small atoms to impossibly distant stars. We want to use it to discover as much as possible, and share it with you every week.
On today’s episode: Astronomers have discovered a first: sister supernovae. Our ancestors had their eye on more hominins than we originally thought. All that and more today on All Around Science...
