Who am I?
The Science Night Podcast began as a series of live events, but the pandemic made it necessary to move online. Over the years the format and hosts have changed, but the desire to make science and scientists more approachable has remained. Science is everywhere. It has the power to inspire, but also frighten. Scientific fluency is becoming more and more important in our modern era where misinformation is always present. We believe that by allowing scientists to tell their story, it will make their work more accessible; and by making abstract scientific concepts accessible to everyone, we can spark curiosity and create a tradition of lifelong learning.
