Science with Benefits
In each episode of Science with Benefits, a different STEMM sector insider shares insights, perspectives and personal stories from their career and life experience.
In conversation with OG science communicator Dr Rod Lamberts*, guests aren't always "the usual suspects" in STEMM, but they all share one thing: a unique perspective on the sector you haven't heard before.
Whether you're en experienced insider or at the beginning of your STEMM career, there's always something interesting on Science with Benefits.
*Rod has been a science communication academic and practitioner for nearly 30 years. Check out his much more NSFW podcast "A Little Bit of Science" wherever you get your podcasts. And stay tuned for a new one coming in late 2026!
