Short but terrific podcast from ABC. It gives an outlet for opinions and research updates from talented Australian scientists that you will rarely hear about in mainstream media.
Description
This program is no longer in production. Ockham’s Razor is a soap box for all things scientific, with short talks about research, industry and policy from people with something thoughtful to say about science.
