Behind The Science Podcast | Philip Caesar M. Flores

Behind The Science Podcast is hosted by Paul Caesar M. Flores and goes beyond published research papers to tell the stories behind scientific discoveries. Its episodes cover research from across the Philippines, including climate change and disaster resilience, marine science and coral restoration, and agriculture. Paul is my twin brother, and I joined him for two episodes.
