Launched on March 20th 2017 – Stupid Questions for Scientists is a\u00a0brilliantly entertaining, while delightfully educating podcast hosted by award winning Science communicator Dr Michelle Dickinson.\u00a0 The podcast brings together top comedians and scientists in a show for grown-ups.

Each episode pairs a top scientist with a top comedian, and with Michelle at the helm they explore some of life\u2019s big science questions\u2026it\u2019s informative, smart, and really funny.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so great to talk openly about some pretty confronting science topics. It\u2019s smart, and it\u2019s seriously funny!\u201d\u00a0 says Dr. Michelle Dickinson, host of Stupid Questions for Scientists and Director of Nanogirl Labs.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople were always approaching me on the street as a scientist they recognised, and saying \u2018Can I just ask you a stupid question?\u2019.\u00a0 The thing is, they weren\u2019t stupid questions at all \u2013 they were great questions, and people didn\u2019t have any way of asking them.\u00a0 We decided to create this podcast to try and change that!\u201d<\/p>\n

Stupid Questions for Scientists is a joint venture between Michelle Dickinson (Nanogirl) and\u00a0WorldPodcasts.com<\/a>\u00a0and with support from Huawei. Recorded in Auckland at the Podcasts NZ studio<\/a><\/p>\n
