Making Waves: A Freshwater Science Podcast

Current Hosts: Stephen Elser, Erin Larson, Eric Moody, Susan Washko. Past Hosts: Tim Cline, Julie Kelso

We disseminate current research in the aquatic sciences to a general audience through a semi-monthly podcast. Our goal is to frame recent high-profile research papers or career achievements in the broader context of current environmental and scientific issues and discuss how the guests arrived at these discoveries. We interview a wide variety of scientists ranging from graduate students to tenured professors from a diversity of countries and backgrounds.
