Transcript
Jacob:

This is People Doing Physics, the new podcast from the Cavendish Laboratory for those who want to explore the personal side of physics.

Jacob:

We’re your hosts Jacob, Vanessa, Simone and Paolo. We are all researchers or communicators at the Cavendish, and every month we release a brand new episode, introducing you to some of the people behind the world-famous physics department at the University of Cambridge.

Jacob:

Step inside the lab and meet the researchers, students, technicians, teachers, archivists, and many more characters that are the beating heart of the Cavendish.

Jacob:

We’ll be exploring their personal relationship with physics, the perks of the job and the challenges that sometimes come with it, and how they’re hoping to make their mark on the Cavendish of today and tomorrow.

Jacob:

Each month we’ll also cover some of the most exciting news happening in the world of physics.

Jacob:

The show is available for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and on any app where you get your podcast. Go find and follow it now to not miss a single episode!

Jacob:

So, make yourself comfortable, grab a coffee and let’s talk about physics with the people doing it.

About the Podcast

People doing Physics
The podcast exploring the personal side of physics
As fascinating as physics can be, it can also seem very abstract, but behind each experiment and discovery stands a real person trying to understand the universe. Join us at the Cavendish Laboratory on the first Thursday of every month as we get up close and personal with the researchers, technicians, students, teachers, and people that are the beating heart of Cambridge University’s Physics department. Each episode also covers the most exciting and up-to-date physics news coming out of our labs. If you want to know what goes on behind the doors of a Physics department, are curious to know how people get into physics, or simply wonder what physicists think and dream about, listen in!
Join us on Twitter @DeptofPhysics using the hashtag #PeopleDoingPhysics.
