025 Peanut Butter, Jam and LIGO - a podcast by B.R.L. Hall & Jack

Episode 25 is our series 2 finale as Jack and Ben take a much needed break to enjoy the reopening of the world and their respective summers or winters. Ben kicks the episode off with a biological breakthrough in how vaccines are manufactured, whilst Jack tells the story of reaching level 2 in creating Bose-Einstein Condensates. There’s a story all about the incredible 3-D printed hydrogels that could be a boon for medics and we have some fundamental physics in the form of exotic compact objects. Plus we talk about the latest developments on NASA’s current mission to Mars.
