Probably Manchester's best student-run science-themed radio show and podcast! Every episode is themed around a particular chemical element. Presenters Fergus, Carys and Joe chat about what makes each element interesting and what it is used for, as well as playing science games and interviewing real-life scientists about their research. Think science and fun repel like particles with the same electric charge? Think again!

    Episode #6 - Carbon

    Carbon, element number 6, is the basis of all known lifeforms. The carbon cycle is a process which shows how carbon is reused and recycled throughout the Earth's ecosystem. But humans are messing with the system - we're releasing extra carbon dioxide into the system through burning foosil fuels, and chopping down forests which absorb CO2. Our presenters chat about why this is a problem and what needs to be done to fix it. We also interview the amazing Alice, who has previously worked in zoos on conservation related public engagement.

    Episode #1 - Hydrogen

    For the first ever episode of Elementary, we look at the number one element. No, literally, hydrogen is number one on the periodic table... The simplest element there is, hydrogen is also the most abundant. In this episode we meet our presenters for the first time, as well as discovering hydrogen's possible use as a clean fuel, how it powers the Sun, and how it has a darker side. There's also the first game of "Science Fact or Science Fiction?" This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
