STEM Tea

Welcome to the STEM Tea podcast!This series dives into the conversations shaping the future of science — blending social, societal and scientific perspectives in STEM. Episodes explore everything from building healthy and productive research environments, to the strategies scientists use to communicate their work, expand outreach to the broader community, and strengthen collaboration across disciplines.Each week, Antentor Othrell Hinton Jr., Assistant Professor of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics at Vanderbilt University (TN, USA), invites a guest to 'spill the tea' on their journey in science. Together, they highlight the discoveries driving their fields forward, discuss how to create sustainable and supportive research practices and share mentoring approaches that train and inspire the next generation of scientists.Beyond the science itself, the podcast uncovers the human side of research — how investigators navigate challenges, build resilient careers and balance innovation with responsibility. With a rotating set of guest hosts adding their own perspectives, the series serves as both a resource and a reflection point for anyone committed to advancing science while shaping a stronger research culture.
