Creating a science podcast: it had always been a dream for Dr. Pietro Giampa. Now, with the support of the TRIUMF Community Fund, he’s using podcasts tonot only explore the wonder of science, but also toshare the personal stories of the many people at TRIUMF.
Describedas “a science podcast, but with a twist”, each episode of the TRIUMF Coffee Break Podcast features a casual conversation between podcast host Giampa and a member of the TRIUMF community. In the spirit of the oft-insightful discussions that emerge over a cup of coffee, they chat about anything from the interviewee’s work at the facility and role in the community, to what led them to TRIUMF, to what sparked their interest in science, technology, and related work in the first place. The podcast aims not only to share the wonder of science and the scientific journey, but also to provide a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective of TRIUMF through the stories of the diverse people working at the lab.
