The TR Sparking Science segment of the show totally focusses on the significance of having a scientific attitude. The Sparking Science segment delves into the core characteristics of developing a scientific temper, which are curiosity and open mindedness. The Sparking Science segment speaks about why science needs to be popularized and also helps the listeners to adopt a scientific approach to tackle problems.
We all are surrounded by science in our daily lives, but little do we understand or sometimes are also unaware of many possibilities that science has to offer to each one of us. And hence to keep the listeners updated, the channel also hosts episodes on various science topics like, Citizen Science, Autism, Space Debris, Vitamin D, Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, Under Water Noise Pollution and many more. All these topics are carefully handled by our subject matter experts in the TR Talks segment. They are experts in their own fields coming from across the world, and giving us all the benefit of their knowledge. The channel is deeply humbled and greatful to each one of the experts.
The channel also airs annual gratitude episodes, that are released in the beginning of the year, to offer a humble Thank You to every body involved in making this podcast a success, with the core being its wonderful listeners.
So keep embracing the goodness of science with The Rationale, a science popularization channel. Where Science is not just for the scientists!

Listen to dig deeper into the scientific method!Link to our website: https://trationale.com/
This episode emphasizes on the role of a healthy conflict. Being open to diverse opinions is the doorway to foster scientific temperament, the only goal of our podcast. So why not try the Jeff Bezoz way! Disagree and Commit!!!Link to our website: https://trationale.com/
Snow clearing in Sweden was prioritized for highways over walkways and bike paths. An analysis showed that the impact of such practices was heavy, as three times more people were injured while walking in icy conditions than while driving. Also, the cost of injuries far exceeds the cost of snow clearance. So, the strategy of snow removal underwent a revision, and pedestrian paths were now prioritized. Rethinking, is what we talk about today!Link to our website: https://trationale.com/

For many of us, a 15 second Temu commercial is enough to convince us to by a pair of new sneakers. So, if a message feels good, the claim must be right. Right? Here is what makes critical thinkers stand out from the crowd. Link to our website: https://trationale.com/

Improper inferences of scientific findings can often lead to inaccurate translations from science to policy. Acceptance of probability from a scientific perspective is often, not very welcome, to a government perspective that desires certainity. Can amalgamation of the research community and policymakers become a reality?Link to our website: https://trationale.com/
Standardized testing approach must not be confined to lab doors. How can they be applied in our day-to-day life? In our attempt to drive scientific thinking in everyday life, today we talk about Fair tests. Something you are not unaware of, but needs re-emphasis of its application outside of lab doors.
