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 68: the crop scientist – Julian Little & products for farming (2014)
A podcast about the science of food crops. The growing world population leads to a demand to farm the land several times more effectively than we used to. But growing crops comes with risks. The farmer wants a guarantee that their efforts bear fruit. Consumers obviously want a guarantee that their food is free from harmful extras. What can be done to ensure the farmer’s crop succeeds? And what is being done to ensure our food is safe to eat? Roger Frost talks with Dr Julian Little, a crop specialist at world leading science company Bayer Crop Science in Cambridge date 26/07/2014
