Hello! And welcome to the Science Bloggers Podcast. This show is an offshoot of the Science Bloggers Facebook group and was created with two goals in mind. Many science communicators are also involved in science in some way, whether they are scientists doing research, or have a keen interest in the field. The show geeks out in both areas, letting them discuss the science they write about, and their views on getting their message out.

May 4, 2020

In this episode we have a returning guest Wes Wilson. As you may recall in our previous episode, Wes is a scientist who is using the immune system to fight certain types of cancer. He still is but in a time of the novel coronavirus, things have changed. Wes tells us how the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has affected cancer research, how it has affected the treatment of cancer patients, and the scientists involved in this research.

Wes also gives us an update on what he has been doing as a science communicator and some of his upcoming scicomm projects, one of which is a new YouTube channel where they talk to cancer patients and help them along their journey and they talk about treatments, myths, fears, and what others should know as they undergo their own cancer journey. As you may recall, Wes is also the host of the Mostly Science podcast
