Episode I: Being an experimental scientist: Bob Newport
Description
The first episode features a conversation with Bob Newport, Emeritus Professor of Materials Physics at the University of Kent.
In which we talk about finding creative ways of continuing to explore physics at home, engaging listeners during lockdown in both science and music, finding teaching tools within the home and grappling with the exciting unpredictably of a dodgy wifi signal...
"I'm an experimental scientist, after all: I should be good at putting odd things together,"
Having retired from teaching at the University of Kent, Bob now teaches for the University of the Third Age in a series of blog articles and videos here.
Since lockdown, Dan has been engaging the community of musicians at the university through the Virtual Music Project, creating a series of recordings of music by Vivaldi and Mozart from recordings made in isolation: you can find out more here.
