Cambridge scientists talk about their work on community radio station Cambridge 105. In these short interviews, they tell how maths, physics, chemistry and biology are put to use in ways they never told us about at school. Our scientists worked in health, business, university research and places we had never thought of. Do share to drive STEM education and careers. Interviews by Roger Frost, Chris Creese and the science show radio team.

scientist 53: the civil engineer in aerodynamics – Prof Holger Babinsky (2014)
We find out about aerodynamics and what it involves. We meet Professor Holger Babinsky at Cambridge University Engineering Department. He talks about wind tunnels and the need for bumps on aeroplane wings.
