After 20 episodes and 23 guests we've finally reached the end of season two! But, before we go on sabbatical, we've got an episode featuring an interview with fantastic science writer and Pulitzer Prize winning science journalist Deborah Blum. In our interview we discuss literally burning out of a career in chemistry, structuring narratives about science, and about the taxonomy of professions and activities that fall under the term "science communication".

This week on Bold Signals it's all about pain and the brain with an episode featuring Sandra Kamping- a neuroscientist and psychotherapist working in the field of chronic pain. In our interview we discuss about the (few) upsides and (many) downsides of applying to grad school because of an interest in blobs, how studying pain brought her to some rather unexpected places, and about the unique challenges of doing research with placebos.

We return to our regularly scheduled programming with an episode featuring a conversation with biological anthropologist Kate Clancy about what anthropology research actually entails, how neuroscience and biological anthropology can share so many methods but vary so greatly in perspective, and about Kate and her colleagues' important research into the pervasiveness and effects of sexual harassment and assault in science.
