    S06EP02 The ghost-like particle: What are neutrinos and why are the so elusive?
    Mar 3 2026
    Episode 6.2 of Science Basement: The ghost-like particle: What are neutrinos and why are the so elusive? Have you ever wondered what a neutrino really is? How does it fit in with protons, neutrons and electrons? And why is it so ghost-like? In episode 6.2 of The Science Basement podcast we sit down with Dr. Timo Kärkkäinen, a particle physicist currently based at the University of Helsinki, to talk about his favourite particle: the neutrino! Join us to learn all about Timo’s research into testing new theories of the standard model of physics and why the neutrino might hold the key to the Universe. Dr. Timo Kärkkäinen has held postdoctoral positions in Hungary and Estonia and is currently a visiting researcher at the University of Helsinki. He is also writing a popular science book on neutrinos in Finnish. Your hosts for this episode are Aarti Venkatesan and Rhiannon Newman. Editing by Ernesta Nesta. Episode cover by Aarti Venkatesan.

    5.9 On Thin Ice: How Data and Models Reveal Antarctic Sea-Ice Thickness/ w Shreya Trivedi, Sujai & Touqeer
    Dec 26 2025
    Welcome to the last episode of this season! We dive beneath the flat maps of Antarctic sea ice and ask a deeper question: how thick is the ice—and why does that matter? As Antarctic sea ice reaches record lows, we explore why ice extent alone cannot capture the real state of the system. Joined by cryosphere scientist Dr. Shreya Trivedi, we unpack how satellites use radar and lasers to estimate sea-ice thickness, why winter remains the toughest season to observe, and how ice volume shapes climate, weather, ocean circulation, and polar ecosystems. A clear, engaging conversation on why thickness is the missing dimension in understanding Antarctic change. The guest for this episode were: Dr. Shreya Trivedi, Postdoctoral Program Fellow, at the Goddard Space Flight Centre, NASA (US) Hosts: Sujai Banerji & Touqeer Gill Editing by Touqeer Gill Episode cover by Anubhuti Bhatnagar TSB podcast logo by Tomás Garnier Artínano Jingle by Havelocke: www.thisishavelocke.bandcamp.com Follow The Science Basement: Homepage: www.thesciencebasement.org Facebook: www.facebook.com/ScienceBasement Instagram: @sciencebasement Twitter: @ScienceBasement Email: podcast@thesciencebasement.org
