Listen "Beyond the Stars: Exploring Science, Bias, and Balance"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Darko Donevski, a PhD in Astrophysics and Cosmology from the University of Marseille. We dive into his fascinating research and explore why astronomy is not just about distant stars but has deep relevance to each of us. Beyond the science, we discuss the importance of cultivating interests outside the academic world, the value of connecting with one's roots, and how luck often intertwines with research success. Dr. Donevski also offers a refreshing perspective on gender bias and the ways forward, even as a white male scientist. We wrap up with an in-depth look at the growing field of scientific communication and why it deserves recognition as its own discipline. Tune in, take notes, and engage with this thought-provoking conversation.
