Today’s guest star is Bachelor of Science (Zoology) and Science Communication (Minor) student Anna Balaguer. Join Anna and The SciComm Collective’s Emma as they discuss the inspiration behind Anna’s “Bone Zone” podcast about Anglerfish mating, the struggles of finding copyright-free music, and her science communication journey so far.
