Transcript
What happens when you combine science with electrifying and nostalgic sonic experimentation? In this episode, we bop through the ideal fusion of music and science as we share stories of scientific research with researcher, science communicator, and producer, Prof Alice Motion. Focusing on the psychological aspects of public understanding of science, this episode illustrates that, much like facts, emotions and social relationships play a significant role in how we create, share, and absorb knowledge. Music, like science, holds epistemic authority, making the partnership between science and music immensely valuable for improving access to and understanding of scientific research in society.
It has been a pleasure working on this season, and we hope you have enjoyed all the presentations. A special thanks to our collaborators, the South African Research Chair in Science Communication and the South African Journal of Science, for curating the Sound Matters Virtual Symposium programme, to the scholars who presented at the symposium, and to those who agreed to participate in the podcast. We look forward to having you join us next season as we continue our journey of exploring the boundless realm of sound as sound, matters.
You can listen to the episode and all our previous ones on our website or on any streaming platform.
