The Galileo Interviews with Caspar Gleave

Welcome to 2023!

To mark the start of the New Year, I'm delighted to share the final part of my recent discussion with Helen Rogers and Luthais McCash. In this insightful conversation, we cover a range of topics related to physics education - from exciting ways to engage young people in the subject to strategies for developing a deeper understanding.

A huge thank you to both Helen and Luthais for this enlightening and informative conversation - I'm sure it will prove helpful to those of you out there who are interested in the subject.

You can find the links to the discussion below - why not take a listen and start the New Year with some more insights? Here's to a brilliant 2023!

Deciding which sciences to take at A'level and what to study at university can feel finite. If you choose to study Physics, for example, will you ever need Chemistry again?

According to my next guests, however, interdisciplinary approaches to solving problems are becoming increasingly necessary.

To listen to why they think this, join me for the first instalment in a three-part series discussion with Helen Rogers and Luthais McCash.

The latest episode of The Galileo Interviews, with Luthais McCash, is now live on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

From how Luthais chooses which businesses to work with to the importance of science in society and why you should study mathematics and physics, Luthais demonstrates what drives his success and provides a window to his thinking.

Galileo Interviews launches episode 6!

It is difficult to fit all the many achievements of my next guest into one post. Luthais McCash, although still in his 20s, has burst onto both the science and business worlds, admirably marrying them together. For any of my viewers wondering where STEM can lead them, they only have to look at Luthais for the inspiration of literally anywhere!

Luthais admirably demonstrates how science can inform our business decisions and as he says

“people don't often realise maths and science is in some ways embedded in the way we live society and it's there whether you want it to be there or not…successful businessmen and women for the most part are probably using some form of maths and science in their business without realising it”

His recent appointment as Chair of the Institute of Physics Mathematical & Theoretical Group is the latest feather in his cap, with recognition from multiple sources since he published his first paper at 16. He is Chief Scientific Officer at Sigma Solutions, was an Honorary Fellow at the University of Leicester and is a research collaborator with OCIAM, Oxford. His current academic work is conducted at Durham. He is also a Fellow and Member of RSS, IOP and IMA.

On a personal note, despite having so many academic, research and business commitments, I would like to thank Luthais for all the support and advice he has given me to date - he is incredibly generous with his time and is living that philosophy of ‘paying it forward'.

Enjoy the latest Galileo Interview episode!

The latest episode of The Galileo Interviews with Professor Dennis Whyte is now live!

Attending my first-ever conference last week at FUSION22, hosted by The Fusion Cluster and the UK Atomic Energy Authority in London, was incredible. In the wake of massive media attention on the 'Just Stop Oil' protests in the UK, it was refreshing to see and hear from so many talented individuals working collaboratively to try to provide a technical solution to the problem of energy-related emissions.

Fusion energy for decades has been a tantalising promise of a solution, one ‘always 30 years away’ as the joke goes. However, recent developments in the industry have been significant, and there is now real hope that commercial fusion energy is achievable within a decade.

In his role at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center and its collaboration with the private company Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Professor Whyte is at the forefront of these breakthroughs. Their initiative SPARC could have a viable nuclear fusion reactor as soon as 2025. Having listened to him speak alongside Prof Ian Chapman, I was very fortunate to catch up with him the next day at the Institute of Physics in London.

Huge thanks to Professor Whyte for spending the time and also to the Institute of Physics for providing the venue and Quite Frankly Productions for their generosity in filming the first face-to-face Galileo Interview.

Over the last few days, there has been much in the UK media about Katharine Birbalsingh's bizarre and extremely ill informed assertion that girls aren't going into physics because they don't like 'hard maths'. It is hardly reassuring that she is the UK government's social mobility adviser!

I suggest that Ms Birbalsingh watch my latest interview, with the incredibly brilliant Dr. Fiona J Beck. Dr Beck is an inspiration and proves why diversity is so important to encourage within physics.
She leads a research group at The Australian National University focused on integrating nanophotonics and optoelectronic device design for applications in solar fuels and the next generation of photodetection technologies. She is also Convener of the Hydrogen Fuels Project in the ANU's Zero-carbon energy for the Asia Pacific Grand Challenge.

In addition to discussing her incredibly important work and career choices, Dr Beck talked about the challenge of encouraging more diversity in Physics and what steps the ANU are taking.

It would be great if you can watch, like, subscribe and share.
