Furman psychology alumna Lisa Cantrell \u201907 has found the best way to bring science to the masses. Through her podcast \u201cAn InExact Science,\u201d she seeks to take psychology\u2019s most compelling findings out the labs and scientific journals and make them available on ubiquitous mobile devices.<\/p>\n
In a story she wrote for the Observer<\/em><\/a>, a publication of the Association for Psychological Science (APS), Cantrell says, \u201cI created the podcast \u2026 to close the gap between the science and the public, using an audio platform to take psychology\u2019s most interesting findings to a bigger audience. With that mission, I began traveling to labs across the country to interview scientists about the most influential findings in their fields.\u201d<\/p>\n Since 2014, Cantrell has produced podcasts about belief in the supernatural, falling in love, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, and more. With a grant from the APS Fund for Teaching and Public Understanding of Psychological Science, Cantrell has seen the podcast\u2019s audience grow to 2,000 subscribers and nearly 20,000 listeners on live radio broadcasts.<\/p>\n \u201cAn InExact Science\u201d has been featured in the Sacramento Bee<\/em> and Science<\/em> magazine and was named by The Audit<\/em> as one of the best indie podcasts of 2016.
