#1 - Where We Come From

This podcast is about science and faith. It is about laying down differences and finding new ways to understand each other. In these deeply personal conversations, Emily Graslie and David Dault talk about their ways of seeing the world, and why they often disagree. As the episodes unfold, suspicion gives way to a growing friendship, as listeners glimpse the difficulties and rewards that come when we put our divides aside.
