Cambridge Quaranchats

20/07/2020

PODCAST SPECIAL (Part 2): Today, we continue the conversation we started last week, about the connection between the sciences and humanities. Ruby Coates and Simone Eizagirre are the hosts of the BlueSci Podcast for the Cambridge University Science Magazine, and have recently released a series of episodes on some of the science behind COVID-19.

👏

In this second joint episode, we talk about how collaboration can help us get out of the Ivory Tower. Examining our own biases and motivations in our research is crucial for making academia more equitable, as well as improving the quality and impact of research. We also talk about some of the similarities in the issues faced by both the sciences and humanities, such as ownership of knowledge and ideas, the challenges of building up a career in academia, and the constant pressure to be productive and a ground-breaking 'genius'...

🤔

What can the current situation teach us about the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration? How can we make research accessible to everyone? This episode offers plenty of laughs, and lots of food for thought!

PODCAST SPECIAL, Part 1 (of 2): Ruby Coates and Simone Eizagirre are the hosts of the BlueSci Podcast for the Cambridge University Science Magazine, and have recently released a series of episodes on some of the science behind COVID-19. In this collaborative podcast special, we bring some of the best fragments from both of our podcasts, connecting to the central theme: 'How can the sciences and humanities come together to address the societal issues caused by Covid-19?'

We also talk about how collaboration and communication between the sciences and the humanities can be more effective, and we examine how power structures within academia and prejudices across disciplines affect society as a whole. We continue this conversation next week, in part 2 of this special episode!
