Description

A weekly Australian science podcast exploring the people and stories behind discovery. It Starts With... curiosity, ideas, accidents, problems, or a passion — and it leads everywhere, from fossils to AI, microplastics to Mars, the microscopic to the galactic.


David Boldeman talks to scientists, researchers and others about the journey behind the science and how they got there.


It Starts With... is a ConnectSci podcast, produced by CSIRO Publishing, Australia's trusted source for fact-based content.
