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.

This episode's guest is Dr. Darryl Boyd, a polymer chemist who works in the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). He also runs the science blog Science Made Simple, where he writes about getting minority children interested in science. He is also the host of the DrBoydTheChemist channel on YouTube where he demonstrates chemistry experiments aimed at children.

I talked with Darryl about his work at NRL, how his experiences growing up shaped his interest in science, as well as the focus of and his goals in science communication.
