Customer Reviews
Great podcast
I’m a Year 7 hoping to become a geneticist when I’m older. I listen to it every day to try and join my school’s mini genetics society (even tho it’s only for years 11-13). I have learned a lot about genetics thanks to this podcast and I even managed to pass the year 13 homework (it took me ages). Because of this podcast I have changed from wanting to be a geochemist to a geneticist. Also I see everyone is talking about how amazing Kat is (not saying she isn’t amazing cos I like her episodes ) Sally also presents rly well so well done sally. Thx for everything :D :) :) :) :) 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😸😸😸😸😸😸😸🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Love your podcast
I am currently at university and am hoping to do a masters in genomic medicine and in future become a researcher. I love listening to your podcast each week and it really helps in the understanding of my genetics modules.
Love this podcast
Kat Arni presents with such enthusiasm. She really brings what she’s presenting to life.
