Sephora and Annika are two scientists who met through serendipity in a random pub near King’s Cross. Over too many drinks, they discussed world affairs and social issues, but were at a loss to know how to make a difference in this world. The one recurring question of all conversations that followed was: “Why would anybody care?”.
In this podcast, they tackle social justice issues that are often ignored. More specifically, they ask tough questions and discuss topics that are commonly overlooked by the more privileged in our society.
