Science Actually is a podcast by Imperial College London students and staff. Are you keen to find out more about current and future research, and to discover how not every question will have one answer? In each episode a member of our podcast team interviews an Imperial expert to see if they have the answers to our burning questions. In the first series, we dive into myths surrounding different aspects of student life: memory, food, sleep and partying. The second series revolves around the science that is shaping our future.
