In this episode we chat to two researchers who travelled to one of the most remote inhospitable regions on the planet, in the pursuit of science.
Professor Fay Couceiro and Dr Clare Boston from the University of Portsmouth travelled 7,000 nautical miles onboard a Royal Navy ship during its annual trip to the frozen continent of Antarctica. We find out why they were there, what they saw, and what life at sea is really like.

Weâre joined by Dr Phevos Kallitsis, Associate Head of the Portsmouth School of Architecture, and Dr Antonino Di Raimo is a Reader in Architecture at the University of Portsmouth.

To mark UN English Language Day (23 April), we consider how English became one of the worldâs most widely spoken languages. And we find out how a mathematical model developed at the University of Portsmouth might predict its future.
Dr Mario Saraceni, Associate Professor in English Language and Linguistics, explains how English spread and changed around the globe, and why speakers overseas influence how itâs spoken here in the UK.
Dr James Burridge, Associate Professor in Probability and Statistical Physics, reveals how principles of physics and maths help him forecast how certain dialects of English will sound in the year 2066.

What does sport, science, the sea, and space all have in common? While this sounds like the start of a bad joke, the answer is actually the GB Row challenge. Using state-of-the-art equipment, rowers were able to gather incredible insights into the state of our ocean on their 2,000 mile journey.
We've caught up with Maggie Hodge, one of the rowers from GB Row's all-women â Team Ithacaâ , and â Laura Fantuzziâ , a data analyst from the University of Portsmouth and 2024 competitor. In the episode, find out what itâs like circumnavigating Great Britainâs coastline, what theyâve learnt about the state of our seas, and how sport can be a driving force for change.

In this episode, we peer inside a place that most people want to be kept out of, but one University of Portsmouth researcher has worked hard to get into - prisons.
Professor Francis Pakes from the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice purposefully incarcerated himself in an Icelandic prison for two weeks to find out what life on the inside is really like.
For Life Solved, he looks at how incarceration has evolved over time, what current systems are in place around the world, and what could be done to improve them.

For many of us, January is the time for New Yearâs resolutions, whether that be cutting out chocolate, carbs or coffee. But to what extent do our cravings come down to smell? In this episode, we explore the science of smells, and how our noses tell us more about the world than we often give them credit for.
Dr Lorenzo Stafford is Associate Professor in Psychobiological Psychology at the University of Portsmouth. He will be helping us explore how understanding aromas can be a key part in treating addictions, understanding how our taste buds work alongside our olfactory senses, and why Covid-19 taught us to appreciate our sense of smell more.

In this episode, whilst many of us talk about âUFOsâ, we take a fresh look at the rebranded term âunidentified anomalous phenomenaâ (UAPs). This comes as NASA investigates many yearsâ worth of seemingly out of this world sightings.
Dr Chris Pattison is a research software engineer at the University of Portsmouthâs Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, and also hosts a popular YouTube channel discussing all things âspaceâ (link below). In this podcast, youâll hear how NASA is getting on with its probe into UAPs, how some supposed evidence of alien lifeforms can have hilarious real-world explanations, and how technology is being used to search for extraterrestrial life.

Associate Professor, Dr Tom Sykes & Dr Louis Netter from the University of Portsmouth have collaborated to produce a book called âCoast Of Teethâ, exploring Britainâs seaside towns through words and pictures.

In this episode, we explore the real risks of nuclear radiation â and how incorrect information can cause unnecessary concern.
You might have read about Japanâs Fukushima power plant releasing its wastewater into the Pacific Ocean â and potentially some of the accusations or fears around the decision. But often itâs misinformation and lack of understanding that leads to negative news stories â with the reality of radiation being very different to what we might read.
Professor Jim Smith from the University of Portsmouth explains the science behind radiation, the real story behind this internet-led panic, and what we can do to understand the nuclear industry better.

And what better way to record the episode, than at one of the most haunted places in Portsmouth, The New Theatre Royal.

AI and the likes of Chat GPT are possibly the biggest technological development of our age â and the subject of much discussion. But with artificial intelligence evolving at speed, this episode asks what the dangers and benefits are; both now and in the future?

From the creative arts to governments trying to keep up with legislation, the world of Artificial Intelligence is affecting us all â and 3 experts in the field take us through it: Oleksandra Ozcan, Lecturer in International Business; Sercan Ozcan, Reader of Innovation & Technology Management and Adrian Hopgood, Professor of Intelligent Systems at the University of Portsmouth.

In this episode, we take a look at something nearly all expectant parents do â the reading of self-help books â and ask whether the advice theyâre picking up is actually teaching unattainable goals.
Dr Lexie Scherer is a senior lecturer at the University of Portsmouth and her research has discovered that parenting manuals can lead to a parent-shaming culture, affecting mothers, fathers and often children as a result.
How can online forums and communities create a healthier and more supportive community for mums and dads? And how is an Australian website leading the way in supporting young families with sleep?

Brad Beavan is a professor in social and cultural history at the University of Portsmouth. As youâll hear, even the weekend as we know it is a relatively new development in the western world. So how did we get to where we are today, how likely is it that weâll be enjoying a four-day working week any time soon, and how do both employees and employers feel about it?

With World EV Day on the 9th of September, in this episode weâre looking at the power behind electric vehicles â the batteries themselves. As more of us consider ditching our petrol cars, in favour of ones we simply plug in, weâre going to explore both the positives and negatives â and the charges for-and- against this developing technology.
Jamie Foster is Professor of Applied & Industrial Mathematics at the University of Portsmouth and in this wide-ranging episode, youâll hear how batteries work, how sodium (salt) might be the replacement for the finite ingredients currently used, such as nickel and cadmium â and the steps that need to be taken to get us all comfortable with EVs when we next buy a car.
Weâd love you to be part of the discussion, too. Email your questions on this episode or ideas for future episodes to [email protected].

In this episode of Life Solved we take a look at natureâs role in cleaning our waters. Thereâs no doubt that us humans need to do much more to clean up our own damage, but there are experts here â and around the globe â who are giving nature the opportunity to lend a helping hand as well.
Jo Preston is a Professor in Marine Ecology and Evolution at the University of Portsmouth and Gordon Watson is Professor of Marine Zoology.
Youâll hear from Jo and Gordon how investing in the wellbeing of our waters â from humble kelp to sophisticated oysters â pays off in more ways than you might even imagine.

In this episode we take a look at the realities of Crime Scene Investigation or CSI. Zoe Cadwell from the University of Portsmouth and Selina Robinson from Winchester University both used to be Crime Scene Investigators.
We ask how does the CSI activity we see in films and TV dramas compare to the real world? How do investigations differ around the world? And what are the myths of Crime Scene Investigation?
