Have you ever found yourself wondering "what is energy, exactly?" Not in the "I know it when I see it" way, but something more fundamental.

That question sent Nalina Cherr, an undergraduate communications intern at the Wisconsin Energy Institute, on a months-long quest to explore the concept and how it connects life on Earth. She interviewed professors, WEI researchers, and even a few members of her family.

The result is Energy 101, a truly unique and fun podcast that explores principles of energy through the lenses of chemistry, botany, and biology that blends science and creativity.

Episode 1 – "Chemistry and Creatine" –  is available now on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Check back each Monday for future episodes. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did making it!
