Bright Sparks is an eight-part science documentary series for RTÉ Radio 1 starting this Sunday at 7pm. The programme will be presented by physicist Professor Shane Bergin from Trinity College Dublin.
Prof. Bergin says of the series: “Scientists are curious people who wish to explore the world around them. Their ideas are sparked by shared conversations. Bright Sparks invites you to listen in on those conversations and understand the root of ideas, discovery, invention and how science works.”
Throughout the series, Prof. Bergin meets the men and women who are leading scientific research in Ireland. He also discovers how Irish science and innovation are changing how we live. He explores how these ideas are shaping how we combat disease, face climate change, develop new technologies and how we uncover the mysteries of the universe.
