UM graduate student Sumeet Kulkarni records a podcast for the ‘Ssippin’ Science’ series. The programs replace the in-person Oxford Science Cafe meetings, which are cancelled during the COVID-19 health crisis. Submitted photo<\/p><\/div>\n

OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 In an effort to keep informing and entertaining science enthusiasts amid regulations that have cancelled most in-person events, organizers of the Oxford Science Cafe have created a way to bring the science to them.<\/p>\n

The program is called “Ssippin’ Science”<\/a> and can be heard on Spotify<\/a>, Apple Podcasts<\/a> and Google Podcasts<\/a>. Organizers of the podcasts are Jake Bennett, assistant professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Mississippi<\/a> and faculty adviser; and Ole Miss graduate students Sumeet Kulkarni and Lorena Maga\u00f1a Zertuche.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kulkarni recorded the first episode for Comscicon-Atlanta, a conference on science communication for graduate students. The conference had experts review any multimedia science communication piece that they could create.<\/p>\n

“I took the opportunity to pick this longstanding idea of making a podcast out of stories that our speakers tell at the science cafe,” Kulkarni said. “The first episode covered a really fascinating tale of how and why crickets on a tiny island in Hawaii suddenly stopped chirping.”<\/p>\n

Maga\u00f1a Zertuche said that while the idea for the podcast preceded the COVID-19 situation, her team looks forward to bringing new and interesting content that anyone can enjoy from home.<\/p>\n

“One of our speakers, Dr. Maria Weber, an astronomer at Delta State University, graciously joined us to record a podcast episode called ‘Quarantine Skies,'” she said. “We also plan to host a virtual discussion on issues concerning the well-being and sustainability of our planet on Earth Day.<\/p>\n

“We also have audio recorded from previous cafes, with topics including particle physics, microplastics and the evolution of bacteria.”<\/p>\n
