Two Cultured is a science podcast created by graduate students from UNC Chapel Hill, with one mission: to make science more accessible and approachable. Each episode features conversations with scientists about their research—what they study, why it matters, and how it shapes the world around us—while also highlighting the human stories behind the science. With curiosity, warmth, and a sense of fun, our hosts Kavya and Akshi aim to break down barriers between the lab and the public, showing that science isn’t just for scientists—it’s for anyone who’s curious about how the world works.

A Starter Kit for Science: Monica's Undergrad Research Journey

How do you get started doing research as an undergraduate student? And what about applying to grad school? In this episode, we meet Monica Macharios, a senior undergraduate student at UNC, majoring in biology and philosophy, minoring in neuroscience, and doing research in Dr. Rob Dowen’s lab. Monica shares her experience getting involved with undergraduate research at UNC and completing a research experience for undergraduates (REU) at another institution. We get to hear Monica’s story combining her interests in the arts and philosophy with science.
