Mind Over Molecules
Hey!! I'm Julia, the host of Mind Over Molecules, a STEM podcast where science, curiosity, and a little bit of chaos come together! In each episode, we dive into the coolest things happening in science and technology, chat with STEM professionals and researchers from around the world, and get the inside scoop on what it’s really like to work in STEM. You’ll also hear plenty about my own life, adventures, and experiences as a student, so stay tuned for all the tea!

What if life had evolved backwards? In this episode, we explore the frontier of mirror life, a version of biology built from molecules that are the exact opposite of ours. From drugs that could last forever in the body, to organisms resistant to every virus on Earth, to the mind-bending question of why life chose left-handed molecules in the first place, mirror biology pushes the limits of science and imagination!
