Science Chatter: New Podcast Episode on "Chirality" Released
In March 2024, we continued with our science communication workshops in the PIER Education Platform (PEP) with a podcast training ‘Tell Me About It: Explaining Science Through Podcasts and Coversations’ with science communicator and host Michael Büker. The first episode of this podcast series is now live at Science Chatter Hamburg.
In our first podcast episode of this new season, Dr. Denis Tikhonov talks about a special property in nature called chirality, and the research done by him and his colleagues to probe this phenomenon.
Denis is a postdoctoral researcher at DESY with a strong background in theory. He has been a part of the FS-SMP group at DESY for the last 6 years researching a variety of topics including chirality, astrochemistry and rotational spectroscopy.
Science Chatter Hamburg is a platform on which Hamburg-based scientists can share their stories, via podcast, blogposts or video.Science Chatter Hamburg is organised and run by PIER. For more info on the podcast training with Michael Büker see here.
The platform might not be as polished and shiny as what is created in most research institutions’ PR departments. Instead, and most importantly, it is young scientists themselves communicating to the public. The platform can be used by all researchers from the PIER research fields to get their messages out there, without the need to set up their own blog or website.
If you wouldlike to contribute to Science Chatter Hamburg with your own podcast, blog post or You Tube video, just reach out to pragya.chopra@pier-hamburg.de and get started. Let’s keep it up!
In the next episode, Merle Graf-Schreiber explains how the universe is lazy. Interested? Stay tuned at on Science Chatter Hamburg.
