scientist 0: the list of scientists at work interviews

There are a lot of science people here in Cambridge, England. We started interviewing them for our radio show to find 70 people who used science in their work. The result is this large collection of short podcasts with lots of surprising facts you never learn at school. 

These interviews were first broadcast as a segment on The Science Show on Cambridge 105 radio which started in 2011 and ran for three years. The show team were Roger Frost, Nicola Terry, Dr Chris Creese. As the material is often still current we extracted the interviews from the general news and chat in the show. Thanks to all the scientists that gave us their time to take part. We hope you find the recordings here useful or intriguing.

INTERVIEWS ARE NOW AVAILABLE ON EVERY PODCAST APP (ON SPOTIFY; STITCHER; ANYPOD; AMAZON; GOOGLE and APPLE PODCASTS).
