20 Years of Scientific Discovery - Latitude 2026

20 Years of Scientific Discovery - Latitude 2026

Author: The Cosmic Shambles Network September 8, 2026 Duration: 1:02:13
We opened up Latitude 2026 on the Thursday night and as Latitude celebrated its twentieth festival, and Shambles celebrated its twentieth year at Latitude, we took a look back at some of the biggest scientific discoveries of that time. Robin Ince is joined by physicist and oceanographer Prof Helen Helen Czerski, geneticist Prof Turi King, particle physicist Dr Clara Nellist and geologist Prof Chris Jackson. They chat about the discovery of the Higgs, identifying Richard III in a carpark, climate change and a whole lot more. This panel was recorded on The Apollo stage in The Cosmic Shambles Forest of Science and Culture at the 2026 Latitude Festival. The Shambles Forest is a place where creativity and curiously collide every year at Latitude. Support The Cosmic Shambles Network at patreon.com/cosmicshambles

From the team behind The Cosmic Shambles Network comes Science Shambles, a podcast that sits at the delightful intersection of expert knowledge and genuine curiosity. This isn't a formal lecture series; it's a semi-regular gathering of minds where scientists from every conceivable field are welcomed for sprawling, engaging conversations. You might hear a cosmologist pondering the nature of dark matter one week, and a medical researcher explaining the intricacies of the immune system the next, all approached with a warmth and wit that makes complex ideas accessible. The tone is rooted in the belief that not knowing something is simply the starting point for a fascinating discussion, not a shortcoming. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a lively pub where the topics just happen to be the fundamental workings of the universe, our planet, and ourselves. It's for anyone who enjoys the thrill of connecting dots between disciplines, finding that art, history, or philosophy often illuminate scientific truths in unexpected ways. By weaving comedy and medicine into its core science remit, this podcast from The Cosmic Shambles Network creates a uniquely human and entertaining listen, celebrating the messy, brilliant, and endlessly surprising process of discovery. Tune in for thoughtful, funny, and deeply informative chats that remind us all just how strange and wonderful reality really is.
