Advertise on podcast: The Double X Effect: Trailblazing Women Redefining Our World

The Double X Effect: Trailblazing Women Redefining Our World is not just a summary of the accomplishments of women scientists, but it is a celebration, a search for what it means to be a member of a minority so frequently underrepresented in STEM. It is for young girls looking for inspiration and for anyone who needs a little help rediscovering what the joy of supporting those around us means.

In this episode, I talked to Jenny Buccos, a trailblazer in STEM media who is changing the way people view STEM. EXPLR has also generously offered 25 free signups for the listeners of The Double X Effect for their upcoming Science Communication course — just use the code DoubleX in the “Referring Organization” field to receive free invite codes from September 9, 2025 at https://explr.com/pages/foundations-of-science-communication-learn-to-explain-big-ideas-clearly.
