Podcast appearances and mentions of sheila kanani

We're off to space for this one, following the European Space Agency's recent announcement of a new bunch of astronauts. Nearly 23,000 people applied but not one of the people who were chosen was a person of colour. De-Graft looks into why this was the case and hears from Dr Sheila Kanani, who applied for the job. We're also back on Earth for two stories about Nigeria. The first is about the government's decision to teach young kids in native languages instead of English. But with more than 600 languages in Nigeria, how will this work? Ishaq Khalid, a BBC journalist in Abuja, joins De-Graft to explain. And, a museum in the UK has signed over a collection of objects - that were looted from the historical Kingdom of Benin - back to Nigeria. Our very own, Paige Neal-Holder - was at the transfer event. She reveals what happened and the history behind it. Drop us a line and let us know what you want to hear on the podcast, or even just to say hello! Our WhatsApp number is +44 0330 123 9480. Remember to start your message with IYDK, to make sure we see it.

Space Boffins Sue Nelson and Richard Hollingham celebrate the drama of the Spirit and Opportunity rover missions with NASA rover engineer Doug Ellison and JPL research scientist Abigail Fraeman from the film Goodnight Oppy. Recalling how the robots developed personalities, they talk about the mission's highs and lows. We also hear about the new SWOT mission to measure the Earth's water, and talk space books for kids with Raman Prinjah and Sheila Kanani. Like this podcast?

20 years ago being a space geek wasn't considered cool, but Dr. Sheila Kanani has reimagined the title, catching the imaginations of today's youth. Her Education Outreach and Diversity programs through the Royal Astronomical Society as well as her non-fiction children's books educate and illuminate the youth of today. Her work on the Cassini project has turned Dr. Kanani's love of Saturn into a passion, one she eagerly shares.

Caroline Lucretia Herschel (1750-1848) was the first woman professional astronomer, and by the time of her death she had been awarded the Royal Astronomical Society Gold Medal and had discovered 8 comets. In this talk Dr Sheila Kanani combines the story of a pioneering woman astronomer, with an account of the science behind comets, asteroids and meteors. This talk will end with a demonstration of how to make a comet model using kitchen ingredients.A lecture by Sheila KananiThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/caroline-herschelGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 2,000 lectures free to access or download from the website.Website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk Twitter: http://twitter.com/GreshamCollege Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/greshamcollege Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/greshamcollege
