Om Podcasten

Et par ganger i måneden snakker vi med en forsker om et tema de kan inn og ut. I noen episoder vil du høre om nye forskningsfunn, mens i andre vil du høre en mer overordnet samtale om et tema. Felles for alle episodene er at gjestene våre har en kunnskaps- og forskningsbasert tilnærming til spørsmålene vi tar opp.
