The Scirens lives had gotten so busy that the only way we could catch up was over Google hangouts. As we found ourselves geeking out over STEM stories via videochat, we had a gut feeling that we weren’t the only ones who got excited about how science & tech affect our everyday lives, so we wanted to share the conversation with all of you. And Scirens Show was born! Every episode, each Sciren will share a STEM article that has captured their attention. We believe this is a great time to be inspired by STEM stories together (plus, we could all use a few new ideas to talk about on all the Zoom hangouts, right???)

Quarantine may still be in effect, but that won't stop the Scirens. We chat biology, space travel, and social science. What's got your brain buzzing? Tell us in the comments!

In this episode, the Scirens dive into deep sea mining, explore pronouns and the presidency, and discuss privacy in targeted advertising. What's got your brain buzzing, especially during quarantine? Let us know in the comments!

It's Girls Night on Episode 4 as the Scirens explore women's health during the pandemic, meet 9 trailblazing women in stem, and pay homage to Margaret "Lady Stardust" Burbidge. Drop us a line to tell us what you're thinking about these days. Stay curious!

Episode 5 makes Earth Day every day. Today the Scirens explore Jeff Bezos' $10 billion Earth Fund, the secret history of the citizen scientists who discovered climate change, and new developments in recycling plastic. What have you been thinking about this spring? Tell us in the comments!

Deep into quarantine, in Episode 7 the Scirens chat space gardening, vegan bread baking, FOMO, the role of fear, figure skating, and the flow of time. How have you been passing the time during your spring? Let us know in the comments!

Episode 8's conversation ranges from magnetically charged nanoparticles to the pros and cons of giving up our data, from the HPA axis to the Age of Anxiety, from banana leaf packaging in Vietnam to an innovative coding school in the Bay Area. Oh, and there’s a DEVS easter egg and a loose dog! Not sure what some of these things are? Neither were we until we started chatting. These are our stories--what are yours? Tell us in the comments!

From the start, Scirens has had a commitment to diversity and inclusion - it’s one of our core values - and we also believe in being life-long learners. Today we bring you three stories of women of color in STEM: Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Gladys West, and Tracy Drain. How has the social justice call to action inspired you? Tell us in the comments!

How can you tell where your body is in space when your eyes are closed? Where’s the line between collaboration and stealing ideas when developing new technologies? What happened when an octopus met Molly? And of course, robots! Welcome to Episode 10 of Scirens Show. What are you thinking about this summer? Let us know in the comments!

Corn cups, bioluminescent plants, MIT cooking classes, Burning Man & refusing to be defined by one label: Welcome to Scirens Show Episode 11! Let us know in the comments how you're passing your pandemic year.
