Landslides can bring devastating consequences to the communities they affect. Dr Ashley Dyson, a geotechnical engineer, joins Sarah and Olly for part two of our climate engineering series to explain how we can go about mitigating the risks of landslides and why it’s so important to have as much data as we can on soils, rainfall, and slopes.Show theme music: Kevin MacLeodThank you to the whole TWICS team for the incredible behind-the-scenes volunteering every week!

Episode 306: Shedding a light on agrivoltaics
Ever wondered what sheep and vineyards have in common? Turns out it’s agrivoltaic systems: generating solar power alongside agriculture. Olly and Sarah are joined in today’s episode by Ganesh Pandey, who tells the two all about the implementation of solar panels in pastures and fields. Today’s episode kicks off the first of our mini-series in climate engineering, so make sure you tap back in next week to hear about more engineering marvels!

Episode 305: CoLab 2025 - Part 2
Welcome back to Part 2 of our CoLab 2025 double bill!In case you missed last week’s episode, CoLab pairs scientists with high schoolers, who, after workshops and lab visits, make art out of research! This week, Ella and Anna hear from scientists Danielle Zimmerman, Millie Goddard-Dwyer, and Katya Bandow about their experiences with CoLab. We also hear from the students themselves about how they found diving into the artistic side of science.

Episode 304: CoLab 2025 - Part 1
What happens when you pair research scientists with high schoolers? Incredible art, that’s what! Through CoLab, six scientists are paired with two to three high schoolers each who, after a series of workshops, create art inspired by the scientists’ research. The results are then displayed at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery during the Beaker Street Festival.This week, join Ella and Anna as they hear from scientists Esmat Sarafraz, Samantha Bramich, and Roisin Moloney about the exhibition as well as from the student artists themselves. Make sure you come back next week to hear from the second half of this year’s cohort!Photo credits: Beaker Street and Oi StudiosShow theme music: Kevin MacLeodThank you to the whole TWICS team for the incredible behind-the-scenes volunteering every week!
