Hi, I'm Wendy Zuckerman and you're listening to Science Versus. Today on the show, how a lab that designs nuclear weapons helped catch a serial killer. And if you're going to do true crime, you better bring in the true crime queen. Host of Crime Junkie, Ashley Flowers. Welcome to Science Versus. Hello. I'm so excited to be here.
So something that a lot of people might not know about you is that you graduated from biomedical science. That was your degree. It was.
And we are twinsies. We both have this degree. I thought I really wanted to be a doctor when I was young. And I was... I think fortunate enough to have to work full time to put myself through school. And I worked at a hospital for all five years and went to school at night. And I got to work side by side with residents who you have to be before you're a doctor.
And I was like, oh, that's not the life I want. Right. I made a bit of a pivot and I finished my degree with actually a focus in research. And so what do you like about science? I like facts. And I think so much in life can be so subjective. And what I love about science is it feels like there are real answers and not just opinions.
Like sometimes things get to be black and white and that's not very often do you get that.
Yes. Yes. I think that's one of the reasons I love science too. It's a way to understand the world. Yeah. If science is your side piece, I guess, your true love is really mysteries.
Yes.
That I've heard you say that you are obsessed with solving mysteries. Obsessed. What is it about a mystery that just grabs you and you cannot let go?
I think I'm just overall like a very curious person, the more that I've like really drilled into it. And I want to, I want the answers to everything. The universe, I want the answers to all the unsolved mysteries, like give them to me.
