In this first series, we’ll explore climate change. Climate change is likely to affect almost every area of our lives… like a toddler with sticky fingers. But how did it become this way? What are we doing about it now? And what does the future hold?

We’ll ask smart people some simple questions and see what happens!

ICD-10-CM Injury Epidemiology and Surveillance Methods

The ultimate mood booster for Korean learners. The perfect way to start your day. The best way to get your mind ready for a new Korean study session.

Yes. The rumors were all true.

We have been Korean teachers by day and secretly K-Pop trainees at night for the past 12 years… and we are finally ready to step up our educational music game and share our first digital single with their world.

We may not be K-Pop 아이돌(idols) (because some of us are more like 어른돌s in our 40s) but our music will inspire a sense hope, or in more fancy words, a sense of ITCRASICSKT (= If They Can Release A Song, I Can Speak Korean Too!).

Take a listen to this song now and dive into the world of TTMIK-Pop!

Full lyrics:
어디서든지 한국어를 배울 수 있어. 톡투미인코리안과 함께라면.
(그래서 이 노래를 준비했습니다. 시작하겠습니다.)
어디서든지 한국어를 배울 수 있어. 톡투미인코리안과 함께라면. (라면?)
봄 여름 가을 겨울, 아침 저녁 평일 주말
봄 여름 가을 겨울, 아침 저녁 평일 주말
집 학교 회사에서, 버스 지하철 자동차에서 (빵빵!)
카페 식당 공원에서, 도서관 화장실 거리에서

매일 조금씩 배워
10분도 괜찮아, 5분도 괜찮다구!
학교에 안 다녀도, 한국에 안 살아도
티티믹이 있으면 어디서든 배울 수 있어

(그럼 이제 우리 그동안 배운 걸 복습해 볼까요? / 네. 좋아요.)
(아주 간단해요. / 그냥 이 노래를 따라부르면 돼요.)

물건을 셀 때는 (한 개, 두 개, 세 개, 네 개)
사람을 셀 때는 (한 명, 두 명, 세 명, 네 명)
한 개 두 개 (세 개 네 개)
한 명 두 명 (세 명 네 명)
한 장 두 장 (세 장 네 장)
한 권 두 권 (세 권 네 권)
한 마리 두 마리 세 마리 (어?)
곰 세 마리가~
한 시 두 시 세 시 네 시, 일분 이분 삼분 사분
Let’s 기린! 사자! 코끼리!

어디서든지 한국어를 배울 수 있어. 톡투미인코리안과 함께라면. (라면?)
봄 여름 가을 겨울, 아침 저녁 평일 주말
봄 여름 가을 겨울, 아침 저녁 평일 주말
집 학교 회사에서, 버스 지하철 자동차에서 (빵빵)
카페 식당 공원에서, 도서관 화장실 거리에서

매일 조금씩 배워
학교에 안 다녀도, 한국에 안 살아도
티티믹이 있으면 어디서든 배울 수 있어
어디서든지 한국어를 배울 수 있어. 톡투미인코리안과 함께라면.

봄 여름 가을 겨울, 아침 저녁 평일 주말
집 학교 회사에서, 버스 지하철 자동차에서
카페 식당 공원에서, 도서관 화장실 거리에서
하루 10분 하루 5분 매일 조금씩 배워

이상으로 노래를 마치겠습니다.
오늘 하루도 톡투미인코리안과 함께 즐거운 시간 보내시기 바랍니다.

매일 조금씩 (A little bit every day): Song for Korean learners

We all have theories about what the future might look like. But what did the future look like in the past? And how have the advent of new technologies altered how people viewed the future? We talked with curator of modern sciences and historian of Victorian science Dr Johnua Nall, professor of Digital Humanities and director of Cambridge Digital Humanities Professor Caroline Bassett, and Junior Research Fellow in the history of artificial intelligence Dr Jonnie Penn in our attempt to understand how the future was thought of in the past. Along the way we discussed utopias and dystopias, the long history of science fiction, and how the future might come back to haunt us!

This episode was produced by Nick Saffell, James Dolan and Naomi Clements-Brod. Annie Thwaite and Charlotte Zemmel provide crucial research and production support for Series 2.

Welcome to Mind Over Chatter, the Cambridge University Podcast!

Climate change is likely to affect almost every area of our lives… but how did we get to this point? When and why did we first take notice of climate change? And why has climate change evaded our collective attention and action for so long?

We talked with professor of human geography, Mike Hulme,, science historian and journalist Dr Sarah Dry and environmental economist Dr Matthew Agarwala to try to figure all of this out. Along the way, we discovered new ways of thinking about climate change, from a tragic story where the issue is constantly caught between opposing forces, to more hopefully thinking of it as a source of generative change and innovation.

Navigating the values of climate change

Last episode, we talked about how we got to where we are now with climate change, but do we even know what’s going on with climate change right now? In this episode we’ll talk about what tipping points we’re approaching, how and why we’re still struggling to gain momentum toward action on climate change, and what difference it would make if carbon dioxide was a brown smelly substance.

To figure all of this out, we talked to a mathematician, Emily Shuckburgh, an engineer Hugh Hunt and a psychologist, Sander van der Linden. 

Along the way, we discuss solutions like geoengineering, creating a fake news ‘vaccine’ and opportunities for businesses to be more transparent about how their activities contribute to climate change. If you’re curious to find out more specific ideas about how we can build a greener future, check out Cambridge Zero’s Green Recovery Report here: https://www.zero.cam.ac.uk/green-recovery-report 

This episode was produced by Nick Saffell, James Dolan, and Naomi Clements-Brod.

What are we (as a global community) doing right now?

The future is becoming harder to predict thanks to climate change and a global pandemic. But a large part of what the future will look like is in our own hands. The biggest challenge to creating a better future may be political rather than scientific or technological.

In this episode, Diane Coyle, professor of public policy, Laura Diaz Anadon, professor of climate change policy, and architectural engineer, Ruchi Choudhary, join us to talk about how we can build a future that might not be anything like the past.

We cover topics like innovation, GDP, and how the uncertainty created by climate change can help propel policy and economic decisions. Plus, we look at some of the benefits that come with building a greener future together.

Creating a future that is not like the past

How and what we eat, and where our food comes from, these everyday choices that we often think very little about, have become increasingly relevant to climate change.

With a global population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050, it is not unreasonable to ask: how are we going to feed all these people... and without causing more damage? 

In this episode we’ll cover everything from how climate change will affect the way we grow and eat food, to the pros and cons of ‘non-poo’ fertiliser. Sound appetising?

Giles Oldroyd, professor of plant science at the new Cambridge Crop Science Centre, Helen Anne Curry, lecturer in the history of modern science and technology, and developmental economist, Shailaja Fennell, helped us connect the dots between food and climate change. They discuss how we ensure people around the world will still have food to eat as the climate becomes more unpredictable.

Guest Bios: 

Dr Helen Anne Curry (@hacurry)

My current research focuses on the history of efforts to understand and use crop diversity as a resource for agricultural development. In August 2020 I launched the project 'From Collection to Cultivation: Historical Perspectives on Crop Diversity and Food Security'. This project has its origins in my investigation of history of genetic conservation, especially the preservation of seeds and other plant materials in seed and gene banks. It is also the subject of my current book project, Endangered Maize: Indigenous Corn, Industrial Agriculture and the Crisis of Extinction. 

Dr Shailaja Fennell (@shailajafennell) 

Shailaja Fennell is a Co-Investigator on TIGR2ESS, a research programme to study how to improve crop productivity and water use, identify appropriate crops and farming practices for sustainable rural development. She is also a Co-Investigator on MillNeti, a sister research programme (2019-2021) that is focussed on how to improve iron nutrition status of people living in Ethiopia and The Gambia by assessing the bioavailability of iron from biofortified millet. Her work package focuses on the use of quantitative and qualitative surveys to understand how millets are currently grown, processed, cooked and consumed in focus villages in The Gambia and Ethiopia. 

Professor Giles Oldroyd (@gilesdoldroyd) 

Professor Giles Oldroyd studies the mechanisms by which plants form beneficial interactions with micro-organisms, both bacteria and fungi, that aid in the uptake of nutrients from the environment, including nitrogen. A long-term aim of this research is to reduce agricultural reliance on inorganic fertilisers and he currently heads an international programme funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to engineer nitrogen-fixing cereals.
