Episode Details

With Pint of Science just around the corner, we’re joined by three of the presenters from Hobart’s 2026 event, “From Inner Workings to Icy Worlds” at Shambles Brewery.

First, sea ice researcher Dr Johannes Lohse takes us to the Arctic and Antarctic to explore how scientists study sea ice and why it matters for our changing climate.

Next, postdoctoral researcher Dr Vimarsha Kodithuwakku discusses how subtle changes in blood vessels during childhood may help detect cardiovascular disease risk earlier in life.

Finally, PhD candidate Rachel Breslin dives into Tasmania’s sand flathead populations, exploring how fishing pressure and environmental change may be shaping fish biology over time.

Join us for a fascinating journey from icy poles to human hearts and underwater worlds, all ahead of Hobart’s Pint of Science festival.
