Bridge the Gap

Booking Overview

This university-produced science interview show translates active research into accessible explanations, typically featuring academic scientists ranging from PhD candidates to professors. Suitable pitches include researchers with compelling findings in areas such as climate science, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and sustainable technology; booking difficulty is low because the show favors accessible subject-matter experts rather than highly prominent public figures.

On exoplanets and star-quakes

September 28, 2026

How can we detect exoplanets, i.e. planets orbiting other stars, potentially a few tens of lightyears away from Earth? What can we learn about their host stars from the way their light is dimmed by the planets themselves? These are only some of the questions we asked our guest, Kristina Kislyakova, who is Assistant Professor at the University of Vienna, and works on the evolution of the early solar system rocky planets and atmospheric losses to space among other interesting topics.

How do clouds affect climate?

September 14, 2026

What is the effect of clouds on the global and local climate on Earth? How much of the solar radiation can they reflect back to space? How much of the surface heat can they trap? Can we describe and predict how the climate will be in 50 years? What can we know about the climate on Earth ten thousand years ago and how can artificial intelligence help us in this endeavour? Professor Aiko Voigt, from the University of Bonn, will talk about these and other related topics on today’s episode.

Enzymes

August 31, 2026

What is a catalyst? And what is an enzyme instead? It turns out catalysts are fundamental in speeding up chemical reactions that would otherwise occur in a very, very long time. Enzymes, biological catalysts, take part in a lot of the chemical reactions in our body to keep us running. Can we engineer enzymes to produce specific compounds? Can we do it in an efficient and sustainable way? Do we need special solvents to do so? In this episode we dig into the chemistry of enzymes, how they work,...
