It’s (Probably) Not Rocket Science is a University of New Mexico podcast production. On this podcast, we’ll explore some of the complex hot topics and new research impacting our society today through conversations with scholarly experts, creatives and researchers.

Because listen, sometimes issues are complicated, but on this show, we can unravel some of those elements and arrive at a place of better understanding, so we can say, “no, it’s not rocket science,” and it won’t be, literally, or figuratively…probably.

We hope you’ll follow along with us as we share new episodes every other Tuesday during the fall and spring semesters. Subscribe to our show on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere else you may listen to make sure that you never miss an episode.
