Thank you again Fraser for another excellent interview. I am constantly amazed at the number of scientists involved in studies I never dreamed of.
Oh Gosh! Yep. Penny finally drops. Thanks Ian!
Excellent. Dr Hon was the perfect pick for this topic. Such a fascinating insight & 'upskill' of my knowledge. Fraser always gets the best out of his experts - great questions, things I wouldn't have thought to ask. Thanks also to the behind-the scenes crew & Anton, of course!. Enjoyable episode. Thankyou all
Enjoyable interview. I hadn't realised that stellar sound waves are generated by convection currents but it becomes obvious when comparing with a boiling kettle for example; at the bottom superheated steam bubbles rise and then implode as they reach cooler water making the characteristic hissing noise.
