Content Themes
The podcast covers a range of scientific themes including the evolution of sporting rules, the mechanics of calculators, the evolutionary anatomy of primate limbs, the complexities of ant colonies, and the mysteries of the moon. Episodes like 'Why didn’t they play fair?' and 'Why can I see the moon during the day?' illustrate not only the scientific principles but also weave in humor and relatable insights for younger audiences.
Tackling big topics with small humans
The question on every helicopter parent's mind!
In this special bonus to round off our first season, Dr C sits down with one of the humblest laureates you could imagine, Professor Morten Meldal, to ask what it really takes to win science’s most prestigious prize. We talk curiosity, collaboration, click chemistry, and the long, winding path to discovery… plus the moment Dr C briefly held a Nobel medal before it went back home where it belongs.
