    Welcome to This Study Shows
    Sep 10 2019
    This Study Shows is the new podcast from Wiley.

    The everyday world goes about its business ignoring research. But we need research – it can help us find big answers to the big questions our world is facing.

    By transforming how we tell the story of science and building a foundation of trust and empathy, we can create a world where research captures the hearts of everyone.
    Hosted by Danielle George and Mary-Ann Ochota, each of our six episodes will ask the tough science communication questions: how? why? and so what?
