We’ll be talking about how to prep for an interview, sharing tricks of the trade and delving into what makes a great science programme. Speakers include: Head of BBC Radio 4 Science Unit Deborah Cohen; Toby Murcott, scientist and broadcaster for Radio 4; Naked Scientist and pop-sci writer Kat Arney; Cambridge University Astronomer Carolin Crawford and award-winning science broadcaster Sue Nelson.

There will also be a special, pre-recorded interview with Professor Jim Al-Khalili. He’ll be dishing out his experiences straddling the worlds of both quantum research and broadcast.
