biological sciences had its own long-running podcast (and later video broadcast), where scientists within the faculty are interviewed about their research, as well as recently published high-impact papers, books and events they are involved with. past guests include established researchers such as professor daniel davis, author of the compatibility gene', dr david kirby, author of lab coats in hollywood, dr. sheena cruickshank, winner of the society of biology science communication award (2013) and nobel prize winner sir john sulston. the podcast also features interviews with budding new scientists within the school, including high-achieving undergraduates and phd students, such as the manchester igem team. the broadcasts later went on to explore broader themes within life sciences.
