28 分钟I'm Sameer Patel, Editor-in-Chief at Quanta Magazine.
Our mission at Quanta is to cover what we call basic or fundamental research in science and math.
That means the kind of work that's driven by curiosity and discovery and the search for knowledge.
We're interested in how and why everything around us works the way that it does.
On our brand new show, The Quanta Podcast, you'll meet the writers and editors behind the magazine.
And together, we'll explore the biggest ideas and the tiniest details.
Join me for the quantum podcast, your weekly dispatch from the frontiers of science and math.
Welcome to a special recording of the world the universe and us.
Recorded live at New Scientist Live here at the Excel Center in London.
It's so good to be here.
Thank you for coming.
Let's get straight into it, shall we?
I'm Dr. Penny Sarge.
I'm Dr. Ron Hootbert.
We've got Earth Scientist, an author and Janne Katwa.
We've got Physicist, Jean-Claude Gag from the UCL,
and Daniel Yon, he's a neuroscientist from Birkbeck.
Well, we've got these experts on stage with us.
We thought we'd just take advantage of your time and ask you to tell us something we don't know or something really interesting from your fields of research.
Antonia, shall we start with you?
