Most science never leaves the room it was created in. Chloe is here to change that, breaking down research papers, calling out what academia gets wrong, amplifying the science that gets ignored, and helping scientists communicate beyond their field.
Science communication is bigger than social media and simpler than most people think. This is where Chloe breaks down the foundations, finding your voice, writing for a public audience, choosing the right platform, and showing up with credibility.
You don't need a PhD to be a science communicator, you need a point of view and the willingness to share it.
From writing for public audiences to navigating brand collaborations, the basics are all here in one place.
Each topic comes with Chloe's own experience from building a 125K+ following during and after her PhD.
Whether you're just starting out or refining your approach, this is your entry point.
Academia has given us brilliant science, and some deeply broken systems. Hosted by Chloe Kirk, PhD and Victoria Godieva, PhD, this is the podcast that says the quiet parts out loud.
I share how I use online platforms responsibly not just to post research, but to build trust, start meaningful conversations, and make science approachable for everyone.
Every episode is a conversation you won't find in any lecture hall, honest, unfiltered, and long overdue
From the publish-or-perish trap to the mental health crisis no one talks about, nothing is off the table
New episodes drop every other Friday, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube
Every month, Chloe picks a peer-reviewed paper and works through it from start to finish, the question it set out to answer, how the study was designed, what the findings mean, and what the abstract leaves out.
No institutional access required, no prior knowledge assumed, just curiosity
Each edition starts with context so you understand why the paper matters before you read a single line of it
The methods section is where most people give up on a paper, this is where Chloe slows down, not skips ahead
Every edition opens up for discussion, questions, comments, and live Q&A are part of how it works
Women make up more than half the global population, yet the research on conditions that affect them most remains dramatically underfunded. Chloe covers the science, names the gap, and amplifies the people working to close it.
From endometriosis to PCOS to menopause, conditions that affect millions of women are still poorly understood and chronically underfunded.
The problem isn't just scientific, it's structural, rooted in decades of medical research that treated the male body as the default
Chloe brings together the data, the history, and the researchers fighting to change what gets studied and why
Because you can't solve health problems you don't fund and you can't fund what people don't know about
