About Science Diggers

Science Diggers podcast is where a bunch of friends dig into the history of science. Every episode, we discuss and review a paradigm-altering paper with a focus on:

  • Narrative history
  • Positive scepticism
  • Impact on the world

We are all graduates in Engineering Physics from Indian Institute of Technology Madras (2019 batch) and now spread across Europe for our higher education and research pursuits.


Hosts

Adithyan RK

Adithyan RK

A daring explorer of science and technology by nature, he has currently set up camp at ETH Zurich where he is pursuing his Masters in Quantum Engineering upon realising that a career in comedy was probably not a viable option. The thing that drives him towards science is the potential to connect ideas from different fields and watch their unison in practice. When not napping, you can find him playing his guitar or making protein shakes.

Bhavesh

Bhavesh

Bhavesh has dived into a Masters program in the field of Optics and Photonics at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany. He is the show’s in-house proofreader. He tends to bore people by scratching the crust of amateur and experiential philosophy. His puns are pun-ishingly good. All throughout the day, he tends to use the least bit of energy. He is very direct and brash with a soft corner for sentient meat.

Pratyush

Pratyush

Pratyush is an MSc student in Particle Physics at ETH Zürich and has always been curious to learn about the way the universe works. For him, time travel is more than just sci-fiction, and he thinks he has a lot to ‘dig’ in before he starts travelling time and goes insane.

Priyank

Priyank

An aspiring material scientist from the University of Montpellier, who believes that the future lies in nano-tech. The Tony Stark of our group always brings out his big guns to the party. This overthinker by nature clubs his analysis ability to deal with all the challenges. Soon starting his journey in TUM, he hopes to find new adventures.

Vidya Sagar V

Vidya Sagar V

Vidya Sagar is studying particle physics at Université Paris-Saclay with a special interest in extremely short-living tau leptons. Jack of many trades. Our philosurfer lover has his hands running on the keyboard faster than our brain comprehends new information.
