Let's Get Into the Weeds
Science & Ideas
About
Wherein I ask AI for peer reviewed articles on _________, and this is what she brings back. My primary focus is the intersection of genetics, epigenetics and nutrition. The podcast explains the science behind the research, in fairly accessible language. When my students end-up unintentionally slogging through minute details of a process, I say they've "gotten into the weeds on that one." It's not a bad thing. Life is better with occasional forays into the weeds. If these sessions resonate with you, you can suggest future topics at my coffee shop. buymeacoffee.com/KimBoard
