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!

Episode 300: TWICS turns 300!
We’re proud to share That’s What I Call Science’s 300th episode!This milestone is an opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come since our café planning sessions in 2018 and first live broadcast in 2019. TWICS is a volunteer-led radio and podcast show created to provide a platform for people from under-represented backgrounds to share their work in STEMM.What began as a small team in Hobart is now broadcast Australia-wide and downloaded in over 60 countries. Our team of 16 volunteers bring together skills in science communication, media production, and community engagement, and it truly takes a village to make each episode possible.We are grateful to our team, our community, and our listeners for helping us highlight the diversity of people in STEMM. Here’s to the next 300 episodes.Show theme music: Kevin MacLeodHost: Dr Olly Dove (Insta: ols_dove)Production: Dr Olly Dove, Richard Siu (Insta: richard.siu.photography)Media & Promotion: Ella Burgun
