My hobby, I’ve come to realize, is understanding. Understanding whatever it is I don’t understand. That’s why I, Kevin Mercurio, currently a MSc. student in Biochemistry at the University of Ottawa, pursued science; to develop the skills required to fully grasp something; an idea, a process, an effect after a cause. We use the art of communication to share ideas and develop an understanding. Communication is the most fascinating topic, expanding over every interesting topic there is. You communicate through writing, through speaking, through body movements, through social media. And you can be clear, direct, ambiguous, foreshadowing, metaphorical, expressive, anecdotal… Even saying or doing nothing is communicating something in a particular situation. There are so many varieties of how you can choose to communicate information. I often use idioms, metaphors or smiles to communicate some idea in a unique way. But expressions are my favourite way of communicating information. They’re usually innovative and mentally work you at a subconscious level. That’s where this podcast comes in. I want to share my love of communication with you all and expand how we can share information. How we can discuss complex topics in a way that’s interesting and informative, just like science should be. And perhaps if it were more interesting and informative, everyone would love science as much as I do.
