The Watershed

A two part show, focusing on the the conversion of modern scientific literature into something intelligible, and the exploration of the motivations and inspirations of professors and visiting lecturers here at the university. If you've ever suspected that underneath all the impenetrable jargon, there was a touch of science that might be of actual interest to you, but you just didn't have the saintly patience to decode the mess, this show is here for you. If you've ever wondered where your (STEM) professors started, how they developed the obsessive passions they have, or even wanted a look at the most basic questions of "why" they do the research they do, stripped from the context of application, and well-worn justifications, this show has got your back. And hell, if you've wondered at both, you couldn't have found a better place to sit back and tune in.
