This podcast passed through comments from Reviewer #2 (it's me) and is now accepted for publication in the near future! Welcome to Science et al. My name is Dominic Javonillo, I play one of those supporting roles in science, working as a Lab Assistant who typically gets grouped into that blanket “et al” phrase. This podcast highlights those supporting players, giving them a chance in the spotlight to discuss their scientific journey. But their self-portrait is not just limited to science. There are different interests, activities, and identities outside science that inform and influence each other; every aspect converging into a more holistic sense of self. This is science with other collaborators. This is Science with other intersections of life. This is Science et al. For updates, follow us on Twitter: @ScienceEtAlPod!
