The Science Show 15/12/2012 – Felix Baumgartner ‘s sky jump with the Equivatel Lifemonitor

Our guest Anmol Sood of Hildago was on the team that monitored Felix Baumgartner health as he jumped from the edge of space and reached a speed of over 800 mph. Based in Cambridge UK, the company makes the Equivatel Lifemonitor and are expert at handling data from sensors. See Anmol Sood on BBC Breakfast: www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19958528; Equivital from Hildago http://www.equivital.co.uk

We have you guessing what’s science fact and what’s science fiction:

  • In A Christmas Story, Ralphie dared Flick stick his tongue on a freezing cold pole. Could it really happen that his tongue really got stuck to the pole?
  • Mincemeat pies are a holiday treat, but are they filled with meat?
  • A turkey dinner makes you sleepy because something in the turkey has drugged you?

News: water is found on Mars – again, but for real it seems www.nytimes.com/2012/11/30/science/space/mercury-home-to-ice-messenger-spacecraft-findings-suggest.html

Our next show on Cambridge 105 will be on a freezing cold Saturday 29th December at 2:30pm. So we speak to two British Antarctic Survey scientists in interviews you might have missed this year.

Securing the future of Community Radio

Cambridge 105 Radio is the Community broadcaster for the city and South Cambridgeshire.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, the businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

You can support Cambridge 105 Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution.
