    Constructor Talks: Intro

    Constructor Talks is the new podcast from Constructor University, where curiosity meets creation. In each episode, we explore how scientific discovery shapes the way we live and communicate with one another. We go beyond headlines to uncover the “why” behind research: questions that spark new ideas, the people questioning the status quo, the challenges they face, and the subjects that could potentially affect the planet for decades to come. Because science isn’t just facts and numbers - it’s a living human story. Our mission is to reconnect people with science, rebuild trust, and spark curiosity again. By listening to these conversations, anyone can discover how everyday technologies and life-changing innovations all begin with questions posed by bold humans.
