SciChronicles
Welcome to SciChronicles, the podcast where biologists from all walks of life share fascinating stories from their personal and professional journeys. In each episode, we dive into the experiences, challenges, and breakthroughs that shaped their careers and impacted their personal lives. You'll hear stories from researchers from different stages in their careers and get a behind-the-scenes look into what it's like to be a scientist. So, whether you're considering pursuing science yourself, or just curious about who scientists are, take a listen and join us as we explore the human side of science, one story at a time.
Featuring StorySlam pieces originally told at the Arizona State University School of Life Sciences.

Grit and Graffiti
In the episode of SciChronicles, two storytellers tell us about their winding paths towards becoming researchers.
Our first storyteller, Kelle Dhein, is a historian and philosopher of science who recently became an assistant professor in the School of Complex Adaptive Systems. Kelle shares an origin story that might be unexpected for an academic, and encourages others in the sciences to get real about where they come from.
The second story is from Austin Blackmon, a PhD candidate in the Molecular and Cellular Biology program doing research on an enzyme important to developing cancer treatments. Austin shares why he's always been intent on doing cancer research, but how it took him a long time to get to where he is now.
