Podcast appearances and mentions of sam illingworth

Effective geoscience outreach and scientific collaboration are enhanced by our choice of words and communication tools. Our guests Sam Illingworth and Chris Jackson offer fresh perspectives based on their own experience and work.  They focus on what we as individuals can do, from using poetry to solve scientific roadblocks, to ways in which we can better connect with audiences of all types – even those within our own work environments.  Both challenge us to be more professional in our geoscience communication and work on measuring our impact.Sam Illingworth, an Associate Professor at Edinburgh Napier University discusses his work, specifically using poetry as a tool for dialogue and reimagining a problem.   Sam views poetry as being able to provide a space for dialogue.  It connects scientists and non-scientists, enabling the development of research and enabling knowledge dissemination.   He encourages us to do a better job of measuring the value of our geoscience outreach projects.  Sam produces a poetry podcast, is an editor of Consilience (science poetry journal) and the journal Geoscience Communication. Geoscience Communication journalConsilienceThe Poetry of Science PodcastGeologize Communication CourseOur second guest, Chris Jackson, is the Director of Sustainable Geosciences at Jacobs and Visiting Professor of Basin Analysis at Imperial College in London.  He brings all our themes together and emphasizes how important it is for geoscientists to be effective communicators. His participation in shows like ‘Expedition Volcano' on the BBC has allowed him to bring geoscience to a broader audience and engage them in a different, more accessible manner.  Whoever is the audience, whether it be colleagues or school children, the key to success is making them feel smarter by the end of your presentation. This results also results in a more engaged and interested audience.  The key questions are -   How can we simplify without losing accuracy?  What are the benefits and challenges in diversifying voices?  Everyone can embrace geoscience communication at whatever level works for them.  TedX – Chris Jackson Diversity UK EventRI Lecture

Science and poetry are sometimes caricatured as opposing paradigms: the emotional expression of the self versus the objective representation of nature. But science can be poetic, and poetry scientific. Our guest this week, Sam Illingworth, bridges these worlds. He's researched scientists who were also poets, and organized workshops for scientists and laypeople using the medium of poetry to create an equitable and open dialogue.In addition to being an Associate Professor at Edinburgh Napier University, Sam is the founder of Consilience, a peer-reviewed journal publishing poetry (which presents such beautifully titled gems as What You Don't See on David Attenborough is All the Waiting) and hosts the Poetry of Science podcast where, each week, he writes a poem in response to recent scientific research.

Victoria Gill and guests ask why does scientific communication matters in society and how it might be done better, with Sam Illingworth, Berry Billingsley and Ozmala Ismail. The climate crisis and Covid-19 have shown over the recent years the importance of reliable, relatable, transparent and trusted science communication. But just like science itself, it comes in different forms and takes different approaches. Always keen to keep you up to date, BBC Inside Science takes a moment to discuss good practice and how it might be done better. Dr Oz Ismail is a dementia researcher who also finds time to do stand-up, public engagement and a podcast called Why Aren't You A Doctor Yet? Sam Illingworth is an Associate Professor at Edinburgh Napier University who investigates science and communication between disciplines. He is also a poet and writer, and has a podcast called The Poetry of Science. And Berry Billingsley is Professor in Science Education at Canterbury Christchurch University. Erstwhile science broadcaster, she looks at ways science education could be enhanced through building what her team call Epistemic Insight - transforming the nature of science education in society's younger members. Presented by Victoria Gill Produced by Alex Mansfield and Samara Linton

. . . Blindly, we turn oureyes to the sky,searching for breadcrumbsbetween the pathways,oblivious to knowledgethat has always been with us:the map of our universeembraced within a single cell.—Sam Illingworth, “Moulded Galaxies” Once upon a time, there was a young lad who wanted to be a scientist. Or a thespian. Or a science communicator. Or a poet. And then one day he realized that he could be all of those things. In fact, he realized he already was all of those things. He was a chimera. And so are you. In this week’s episode, Jocelyn and Bradley are joined by the wondrous, chimerical Dr. Sam Illingworth: scientist, poet, and science communication researcher. Sam shares the fascinating and provocative results of his research into how poetry can promote engagement and effective dialogue between scientists and non-scientists, and how he is putting this knowledge into practice through his peer-reviewed science poetry journal Consilience. He also talks about his latest book, A Sonnet to Science, and what we can learn from prominent figures in the history of science who also wrote poetry. Ultimately, the friends agree that (contrary to Poe’s “Sonnet—To Science,” for which Sam’s book is named) scientific inquiry ramifies rather than detracts from the wonder, awe, and mystery of the natural world.

Astrophysicist Dame Jocelyn Bell-Burnell, poets Sam Illingworth and Sunayana Bhargava, and C19 expert and New Generation Thinker Greg Tate from the University of St Andrews join Anne McElvoy to discuss the parallels between poetry and Victorian laboratory work. Dame Jocelyn Bell-Burnell, is perhaps most famous for first discovering Pulsars - strange spinning massively dense stars that emit powerful regular pulses of radiation. she has been President of the Royal Astronomical Society and the Institute of Physics, and more recently was recipient of the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. Alongside, she collects poetry related to Astronomy. Greg Tate's next book looks at the physical and metaphysical part of rhythm in verse by C19 physical scientists. Sam Illingworth's book "Sonnet to Science" looks at several scientists who have resorted to poetry in their work. Sunayana Bhargava works at University of Sussex studying distant galactic clusters, and is also a practising poet. Previously she was Barbican young Poet. You can hear Greg discussing the 19th-century scientist and mountaineer John Tyndall in a Free Thinking programme which also looks at mountains through the eyes of artist Tacita Dean https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b3fkt3 and a short feature about poetry and science in the 19th century https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04n2zcp Tristram Hunt, Director of the V&A Museum and Sir Paul Nurse, Director of the Francis Crick Institute, debate the divide and the links between arts and science in a Free Thinking debate recording at Queen Mary University London https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001f5f Producer: Alex Mansfield.

Andrea Macdonald, founder ideaXme Ltd. interviews Dr Sam Illingworth, PhD Atmospheric Physics, Senior Lecturer in Science Communication at Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK. Dr Illingworth is a "poet scientist" who believes that poetry is a powerful tool to communicate and explore science. (For the complete transcript of this interview please visit www.radioideaxme.com) He is passionate about encouraging the cross fertilisation of ideas from one seemingly unrelated sector to another to create stronger ideas. And feels that when the arts and sciences are brought together the results are powerful, often moving both unrelated sectors forward. He also believes strongly in the necessity of scientists to communicate their science with the wider world so that people better understand and evaluate how some of the most pressing global issues such as climate change can be solved by science and public participation in tandem. Sam urges us all to learn more of science generally in this age of exponential growth in scientific advancement and technology. As he’d like the public to be equipped with the necessary knowledge to question and ultimately take part in the processes that affect us all. Poetry and science as parallels: Dr Illingworth has conducted extensive research into the lives and achievements – poetic and scientific of 6 fellow famous poet scientists. These findings have been published in a recent book, A Sonnet To Science. He evaluates through these 6 examples how science is communicated and advanced by poetry. Climate change Dr Illingworth’s special scientific interest lies in climate change research. He has a PhD in Atmospheric Physics and a Masters Degree in Physics with Space Science and Technology from the University of Leicester (and an MA in Higher Education Merit from The Manchester Metropolitan University). He has worked with the Manchester Climate Change Agency on the Climate Lab 2016 programme, an initiative to engage the public with the issue of Climate Change. He wrote A Change of Climate with his friend and colleague, Dan Simpson, who he mentions in this interview. Watch to the end of the interview and you’ll learn how science and poetry really can be symbiotic. Furthermore, you'll hear of Dr Illingworth's passion for music also and how it too can be used like poetry to communicate science. Also discover that Sam’s work is not just limited to teaching university students. His outreach programme also extends to schools as he recognises importance of engaging children in major world issues. Finally, find out with whom Sam has connected in the past to move his life and career forward as well as who he would like to meet now.

ELO's brilliantly off-beam classic, Mr Blue Sky, is explored in this week's Soul Music. It was released as a single in 1978, having first appeared on the ELO album 'Out of the Blue' in 1977. Written by Jeff Lynne, it was a no.6 hit in the UK, and has endured on the radio airwaves ever since. Contributing to the programme: Tracey Collinson whose husband, Nigel, loved the track tells of the meaning it has for her. Musicologist, Allan Moore, discusses the anomolous use of the word 'blue': usually associated with downbeat emotions, this is a peculiar subversion of that cultural norm with the word 'blue' conjuring happiness and good weather. Tremayne Crossley and his friend, Jo Milne, tell the extraordinary story of how Jo heard music for the first time. This track played an important role in that event. For Dr. Sam Illingworth, Mr Blue Sky will always take him back to the low-flying research-flights he made over the wetlands, greenlands and seas of the Arctic Circle with the shadow of the BAE146 plane beneath him and clear blue skies above. The children of King's St. Albans in Worcester sang the track that features at the end of the programme. Producer: Karen Gregor.
