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 Kevin McAvoy, an aquarium biologist at a major public aquarium  and the one of the hosts of the Radioactive Spider-Pod, a comedy show that looks at the 1990s animated Spider-Man series. We talk about what an aquarium biologist is, some of the science and work needed to build and maintain an aquarium's exhibits, as well as the importance of communicating this science to the public.

David Latchman is a freelance science writer and host of this podcast. He runs the Science vs. Hollywood blog (sciencevshollywood.com) where he explores the portrayal of science in television shows and movies.

If you are a science communicator, check out the Science Bloggers Facebook group. It is a dynamic and supportive group made up of members who are all interested in communicating science to the general public.
