We interviewed a bunch of scientists from various fields in order to understand what they do on a day-to-day basis and what makes them tick. This was produced into a series of podcasts by various students, staff and Alumni from Mandela University. The interviews were conducted prior to COVID and undertaken by Dr Lucien Biezeidenhout, formerly from the Physics Department and Dr Gaathier Mahed, from the Department of Geoscience. Listen to the light-hearted side of science and try and understand the people behind the publications on these Science Communications podcasts.
