Research Stories

In this podcast we find out about fascinating research projects throughout the UK. Patricia Ragazzon chats to researchers from the University of Nottingham about innovations in nanotubes and David Smith finds out about how we might be able to grow a cure for malaria. We also talk to David Gamblin, an Associate Lecturer, about what he enjoys about working for the OU. The interviews are recorded by OU staff and the programme is hosted by Dr Mike Bullivant, also from the OU/BBC television series Rough Science.

MAYDAY — Fiction For the Future MAYDAY The world of science fiction, although it sometimes seems so far away from what we know as reality, has roots in the world around us today. Add in some extreme imagination and a radical escalation of human capabilities or imperfections, and there is some pretty viable material to build on.

We at Mayday Magazine happen to believe in the power of fictional stories to grow our minds and imagination. Take a listen to the future — maybe nearer than we think — with these original shorts.
