ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
*"Desert Island Discs with a science twist” - *
Science Mixtape explores the science and songs of exciting expert guests from the world of science. It's a mix of science news, views, and live ON AIR experiments, as well as the songs they love and why.
From uplifting discoveries, to sobering facts, and the downright bizarre, science helps us better understand the world we live in, but also reminds us how little we know. Join us every other Saturday at 12pm for a fun and informative peak behind-the-scenes at a life in science.
Curiosity never killed any cats. Well … maybe Schrodinger’s.
