"In this special fifth-anniversary episode, we reunite with our podcast's inaugural guest— Chancellor Gary May- the one who helped support our journey by participating in the first interview. This launched our journey into science communication five years ago. Using molecular orbital theory as a creative metaphor, we explore how audio interference techniques and filtering, inspired by antibonding orbitals have allowed us to perfect our podcast's noise-cancelling quality. Join us for an inspiring reflection on the chemistry of sound, the evolution of our podcasting journey, and celebrating the voices who've made it all possible!"
