- ‘Consider This Next’ with Kacie Luaders (New Episodes every month)
CivicSci-Radio is part of Civic Science Media Lab which is an investigative newsroom that covers the civic nature of science to make it more accessible, informative, and actionable for scientists, practitioners and local community leaders. We conduct investigative civic science journalism to interrogate and unravel ongoing progress, & shed light on important issues across the field. Our journalistic endeavor allows us to pose probing questions to various stakeholders to elicit actionable insights on TV, digital print and radio.
In this episode, Kacie talks with Karen Jialu Bao, a recent graduate of Harvard’s Molecules, Cells, and Organisms (MCO) PhD program and a published young adult science fiction author. Bao shares her journey from childhood bug collecting to studying mosquito brain mechanisms, all while pursuing her love of storytelling. Her latest book, Pangu’s Shadow, features two immigrant female science students solving a murder mystery in space. Bao reflects on bridging science and creativity, the role of scientific literacy for young people, and how fear can limit learning. She highlights that success in science comes in many forms and often requires skills beyond academic performance.
