Our guest this week is Markku Alho, who is a PhD student at Aalto University. He works on plasma modelling of solar wind interactions with several bodies in space. In this episode, we focus mostly on the Moon and how the solar wind “bombards” its surface, but we also talk for example about Venus, Mars, and comets!
Our first episode about Social Sciences! Our guest this week is Anastasia Diatlova, who is a doctoral researcher in Sociology at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Helsinki. Her research focusses on the daily experience of life and work of russian-speaking sex workers in Finland.
Our guest is Arnaud Praplan, who is an Academy Research Fellow at the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI). His research focusses on the reactive chemical compounds emitted by plants into the atmosphere and their oxidation reactions.
This episode is all about our star, the Sun! We chat with Diana Morosan, postdoctoral researcher in Solar Physics at the University of Helsinki.
In this episode we chat with Ari-Pekka Honkanen, PhD student at the Materials Physics lab of the University of Helsinki. He studies the structure of materials by “shooting” X-rays at them!
In this episode we chat with Chiara Facciotto, PhD students at Biomedicum in Helsinki. She works on how epigenetics influences cancer response to therapy.
In this episode we chat with Camille Bélanger-Champagne, post-doctoral researcher at the Helsinki Insitute of Physics. She works on instruments for nuclear safeguards, and the instrument she works on can be used by the inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to check that facilities that handle nuclear power are using nuclear material for peaceful and civilian activies only.
In this episode we chat with Juhani Huovelin, who is a University Lecturer at the University of Helsinki and also the Principal Investigator of the Solar Intensity X-ray and particle Spectrometer (SIXS) instrument onboard the BepiColombo spacecraft.
In this episode we chat with David Weir, who is a University Researcher at the University of Helsinki, Finland. He looks at gravitational waves from processes in the early Universe.
In this episode, we are on a field trip at the International Conference of Physics Students 2018 and chat with some of the participants!
