Podcast
STEM Happenings is a podcast about the latest ideas in science and technology. As a podcaster and social media lead, I research STEM topics, contact experts, write interview questions, and create promotional content. Guests have included researchers from Stanford, UPenn and Rutgers, and topics range from quantum computing to AI in Alzheimer's research and CRISPR.
