MetCast Podcast: On March’s episode - Jet fuel alternatives, preventing smoking-triggered heart attacks, and writing a poem for the first time
In this month’s episode, we’ll be speaking to David Lee, Professor of Atmospheric Science, who discusses research into Net Zero aviation fuels and his recent report with the Royal Society, one of the world’s leading scientific academies.
With the demand for air travel growing, we uncover the issues facing the aviation sector and the challenges associated with sustainable fuel alternatives.
We also talk to Dr Stephen White, Reader in Cardiovascular Pathology. We discuss his new study that uncovered how smoking-triggered heart attacks happen and how they could potentially be prevented.
And finally, in March we celebrate World Poetry Day. Join us as we chat to acclaimed poet Andrew McMillan, Senior Lecturer in the University’s Manchester Writing School, who has released three award-winning poetry collections.
Andrew talks through how beginners can get started in poetry, plus offers some useful hints and tips on writing a poem for the very first time.
