POLYMER SCIENCE PODCAST

Here to break down the science so you don't have to are your hosts, Dr. Alicia Botes and Jacob Schekman. Alicia received her PhD in Chemistry and Polymer Science at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, and is currently working as an electron microscope analyst at the Central Analytical Facility. Jacob is a PhD candidate in Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Southern Mississippi, United States.

Do you enjoy learning about science? Then this podcast is just for you! Polymers are a unique category of molecules, special for their large size and seemingly endless potential for application in our world. In fact, polymers already have HUGE impacts on our lives... Can you guess which of your household items are made from polymers? Shoes? Made from polymers. Paper? That's a polymer. Spaghetti? Yeah, that too. Literally ALL types of paint? You got it, all polymers!

Of course, polymer research is pertinent to far more than just household products. On this show you'll hear from scientists whose research contributes to improved recycling, aerospace materials, soft robotics, medical equipment, biocompatible plastics, biodegradable plastics, textiles, packaging, and so much more!

We hope you enjoy listening and learning with us!
