For this podcast:
Description: What is radio astronomy? How big is going to be the next generation radio telescope? What is SKA? This is the first episode of a weekly podcast about the fascinating world of astronomy. On today’s episode, I have a conversation with Phil Diamond, who is the Director General of the Square Kilometre Array, we talk about the science behind this telescope, from the original idea to where they are today. Are we going to prove Einstein wrong? How are we going to be able to see the early universe? All of that and so much more on this first episode of Astronomy et al.
Astronomy et al brings informal conversations about the fascinating world of astronomy. Ricardo Garcia, the host of the show, picks the brains of researchers, astronomers, science communicators, and physicists about the work they do, how and why they do it, delving into the science but also talking about the personal journey of each guest.
Bio: Ricardo Garcia is a science communicator, youtuber and podcaster traveling the world to share his experiences with the internet.
