A podcast by women in STEM

At Nerdtacular 2026, a scientist and an engineer meet in-person, do a “Science vs. Tech” panel, and decide they want to be BFFs and do a show together.

Join us the first Monday of each month, as we spill the tea on what we find interesting in science and tech. We welcome all listeners to be weird and nerdy with us.
