The science intersection

Rachel Melinek

This podcast is on a range of issues but generally they fit into one of four categories. The four categories are: Climate change, alternative economic systems, diversity and health. On occasion the podcast has episodes which don't fit into any of these. The podcast is a mix of science and social science and other elements which impact on well-being.
