Science for the People is a syndicated radio show and podcast that broadcasts weekly across North America. We are a long-format interview show that explores the connections between science, popular culture, history, and public policy, to help listeners understand the evidence and arguments behind what's in the news and on the shelves.
Every week, our hosts sit down with science researchers, writers, authors, journalists, and experts to discuss science from the past, the science that affects our lives today, and how science might change our future.
In this episode Science for the People explored modern batteries: how they work now and how they might work in the future. The hour long show starts with an interview with Gerbrand Ceder from UC Berkeley, about the most commonly used batteries today, how they work, and how they could work better. Then the discussion is with me about redox flow batteries and how they could help make our power grids more reliable.
