This episode is the second of a two-part episode with award-winning technologist and online media personality Meredith Castles. In the first part we explored Meredith’s kinesthetic memory and her arts background. This time round we focus more on her work in Technology and how she combines arts with science to communicate science to the public.

Meredith Castles is a lecturer and PhD candidate at the University of Tasmania. We discuss her unique blending of the arts and sciences to communicate science to the masses. From movies and television acting to theatre, writing and currently livestreaming science entertainment content to thousands, Meredith’s arts background fuels her science research where she investigates how people can be more deeply involved in the technology designs of the future rather than removed from it.
