In this episode, Will is joined by Jamie Moffa, a doctoral student in systems neuroscience at Washington University in St. Louis. Jamie has been thinking and working in the science communication space, especially via the In Plain English podcast, which is aimed at bringing scientific knowledge and understanding to the general public.
