Podcasts by Stars and Bacteria
Astronomers look through their telescopes and marvel at the expanse of the cosmos. They see countless stars and wonder how insignificant humans are.
Microbiologists zoom in through their microscopes and marvel at the expanse of the human body. They see countless cells and bacteria, and wonder how intricate humans are.
Stars and bacteria are both constellations of different concentrations.
This podcast is an open experiment to present ideas from the world of bio, health and tech, looking at stars, bacteria or anything in between.
