Welcome to In Plain English, where we're making science approachable, open source, and jargon free! I'm your host, Jamie Moffa, and every episode I bring on an expert in a field of research, and two guests who know nothing about the subject. Together, we'll learn about exciting topics, like what dinosaurs sounded like, or whether psychedelic drugs can treat depression. And in between full length episodes, I feature bonus interviews with scientists on their own, cutting-edge research! Subscribe to learn about all this and more, "In Plain English!"
