In this episode of Why Research Matters, I sit down with Yulia Akisheva to explore a gap most scientists feel but rarely talk about: the distance between doing great science and making it understood.
From fear of sounding “not smart enough” to the reality that people remember only a tiny fraction of what we say, this conversation dives into why communication is not a soft skill in STEM—it’s a core skill.
If you’re a researcher, student, or anyone working in science and R&D, this episode will change how you think about sharing your work.

In this episode of Why Research Matters, I’m joined by Venus Moore, an animal care professional whose work sits at the ethical and emotional core of biomedical research.

She spends her days caring for research animals, noticing what others might miss, and carrying responsibilities that most people never see and almost never acknowledge in publications.

Venus shares what it’s really like to work in animal research, why attachment is unavoidable, and why compassion is not a weakness in science—it’s a requirement.

This conversation will change how you think about what research truly rests on.
