The podcast, available on YouTube, Spotify and Ivoox, features interviews with scientists to bring research in astrophysics and cosmology closer to the general public<\/strong><\/p>\n

Could there be life on Mars? What are gravitational waves? What are the alternative theories to the Big Bang? How can we measure the rate of expansion of the universe? These and many other questions give life to <\/span>La veu còsmica<\/em>, an audiovisual podcast in Catalan that combines science, music and poetry. The <\/span>first episode<\/u><\/a> premieres today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout 12 chapters of 25 minutes, <\/span>Lluís Galbany<\/strong>, researcher from the Institute of Space Studies (IEEC — Institut d’Estudis Espacials de Catalunya) at the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC), accompanied by the poet Esteve Plantada and the musician Joan Garriga, interviews experts on different topics in astrophysics and cosmology, such as space exploration, black holes, dark matter or supernovae. <\/span>La veu còsmica<\/em> can be found on <\/span>YouTube<\/u><\/a>, <\/span>Spotify<\/u><\/a> and <\/span>Ivoox<\/u><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The project was born from the desire to bring science closer to the public in an artistic way”, says Lluís Galbany. “This format seeks to attract the public so that they can understand first-hand general scientific concepts, learn more about the scientific research that is currently carried out, and be up-to-date about the latest advances in astrophysics and cosmology,” he adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project is funded by the Catalan Foundation for Research and Innovation (FCRI), thanks to the Joan Oró 2022 Grants for the promotion of scientific culture in Catalonia, as well as the IEEC, the ICE-CSIC, the <\/span>Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona<\/u><\/a> (ICCUB) and the <\/span>Institute of High Energy Physics<\/u><\/a> (IFAE). Scientists from all these research centres, as well as the <\/span>University of the Balearic Islands<\/u><\/a> (UIB), participate in this audiovisual podcast, explaining how research is done in their field and why.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the poet Esteve Plantada and the musician Joan Garriga use the topics discussed in the interviews as inspiration for their artistic creations, which liven up the format while translating technical concepts. First, Esteve Plantada presents the topic to be discussed in the programme and its historical context, travelling through time to explain how humanity discovered certain concepts. Later, after the interview conducted by Lluís Galbany, Joan Garriga and other invited artists end the programme with a musical composition.<\/span><\/p>\n
