About

Curioscity is an informal but informative science show for everyone. Learn alongside Calvin Yeager as we discuss topics including biology, chemistry, virology, technology, and general science in a lighthearted and digestible way.

Curioscity was first envisioned in late 2018, inspired by podcasts like TWiV, Big Picture Science, and If I Were You.

Guests

Curioscity brings education into and beyond the Research Triangle, specifically aiming to discuss topics of relevance to the tax-payer and to human scientists.
