Science often starts with questions. Each question has a story. But most podcasts are about answers and their associated stories. In this series, I will talk to researchers about their research questions, methods, and how they ask their questions. There is a lot one can learn about asking questions. Why not learn some by listening to Just-questions?
In the first episode of Just-questions, we have Brian Fisher, one of the real life ant men. We talk about his first research question, why he is so obsessed with ants, and many tips to students starting/learning to ask research questions.
I met Brian during the Antcourse 2016. I have interviewed a few more scientists during that course (I wish I could interview all of them!). More interviews from the course soon.
