#MadeAtUCL Podcast Episode 3: Repurposing #MadeAtUCL

    • Science

This episode is about giving things a new life. How do we take something that has served one use and giving it another? Learn about a diabetes drug that has helped with Parkinson’s, how old industrial sites became an artist’s laboratory to produce new paint colour, and turning used coffee grounds into sustainable fuel.

Join our host, Suzie McCarthy, as she explores these topics with Tom Foltynie, Professor of Clinical and Movement Neurosciences; Onya McCausland, Senior Research Fellow at the Slade School of Fine Art; and Paul Hellier, Lecturer in Engines and Fuels in the Engineering Department.

'#MadeAtUCL Disruptive Discoveries' talks to UCL researchers answering life's big questions; from green infrastructure to artificial intelligence, space exploration to treating cancer.
