About this listen

 SKRAPS is your podcast where we, on your behalf explore the stories of sparks of scientific brilliance in science and innovation. SKRAPS is the word sparks spelt backwards and also a play on the idea that ideas are written on back of a napkin or scraps of paper. We explore stories of people in science, while elaborating on the scientific details so that experts and non-experts can relate to science better in today's whimsical world that acts to spread mis-information.© 2022 SKRAPS of Science & Innovation Biological Sciences Hygiene & Healthy Living Physical Illness & Disease Science Social Sciences
