In episode nine of Science Chatters, we head into the field—and into the studio—as UWE Bristol’s MSc Science Communication students take their skills to the airwaves.Fresh from creating radio shows at the BBC studios, students bring us their radio packages.
We hear from MSc student Evie Gardner, who explores the health of UK rivers with Dr. Lewis Campbell from The Rivers Trust, looking at how environmental DNA (eDNA) is helping scientists monitor pollution and biodiversity, and how this data can shape conservation efforts.
MSc student Alice Thompson takes us to the ocean’s depths in her interview with Leo Richards, a filmmaker working with the Schmidt Ocean Institute. Together, they explore the wonders of deep-sea ecosystems and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Science Chatters - Episode 8 Love and Science and Vertipools
In the eighth episode of the Science Chatters podcast, we dive into the world of animal welfare during global crises as Professor John Hancock. Speaking with MSc in Science Communication student Brodie Goodall, Professor Hancock discusses insights from his latest book, Animal Welfare in a Pandemic: What Does COVID-19 Tell Us for the Future?
This episode also spotlights an innovative conservation project called Vertipools, with MSc Science Communication student Sarah Adams. Sarah gives listeners an inside look at how Vertipools—small, artificial rock pools installed along seawalls—help create habitats for marine life in urbanized coastal areas. The feature delves into the science and creativity behind Vertipools and their potential to foster biodiversity in our cities.
Plus, we find out about Love and Science, a radio show on BCFM where UWE Bristol's MSc Science Communication students get hands-on experience broadcasting science topics to a broader audience. With a mix of curiosity and love of the exploration of scientific ideas, Love and Science offers a unique platform for students to develop their communication skills while engaging listeners in the wonders of science.
