Science often starts with questions. Each question has a story. But most podcasts are about answers and their associated stories. In this series, I will talk to researchers about their research questions, methods, and how they ask their questions. There is a lot one can learn about asking questions. This is useful for students starting/learning to ask research questions. I am a grad student. Learn more about me from the link below. http://rvndrpn.wixsite.com/ravindra
