The Hidden Constellation explores the future of work in museums, presenting a leading STEM museum service thinking about the value and impact of technology in the work that it does, and the work it will do. By spending time with volunteers, staff and trustees at the Science Museum Group in England, this podcast presents an alternative constellation of museum work - a map of digital labour that is disrupting traditional hierarchies of museum expertise, heralding radical forms of science participation. The Hidden Constellation was written and presented by Dr Sophie Frost, with sound design and ...

Seventy scientists talked about their work on Cambridge 105 community radio. They tell how maths, physics, chemistry and biology are put to use in ways they never told us about at school. Our scientists worked in health, business and in University of Cambridge research. Do share to help drive STEM careers. Interviews by Roger Frost, Chris Creese and our not naked Science radio show team.

In the 16th century, when explorers travelled deep into the jungles of South America in search of gold and spices, they brought back many colourful tales of their adventures.
