Science Queeries brings the joy and curiosity of science. The show will explore scientific topics, from the ever-expanding, massive cosmos to microscopic cells in our bodies. Each episode features explanations of scientific concepts we’ve all heard of but may not know too much about, interviews with local LGBTQIA+ scientists, and listener questions, creating a welcoming space for the JOY community to learn about and engage with science in a meaningful way.
