About this episode

Brad discusses the global nature of science with Dr. Patience Kiyuka, highlighting the importance of community involvement and communication in research.

Science isn’t just happening in labs in the U.S. or Europe — it’s a human story unfolding everywhere. In this episode, Brad talks with Dr. Patience Kiyuka, a Kenyan scientist and National Geographic Explorer, about what it really means to do science for and with the communities it serves. From fighting malaria to battling misinformation, Dr. Kiyuka shares how African scientists are changing global research — and why authentic communication matters as much as discovery itself. If you think science is a cold, mechanical process, this conversation will change your mind.
