About the Show
The programme will report every week on what is happening in science and technology in Ireland and around the world. It will also be taking the programme out of the studio up into the skies and out on the ocean to visit scientists as they go about their work.

The series will also feature debates on the important issues that science is raising for our community. As science and technology plays an increasingly important role in the direction Irish society is going Quantum Leap will be informing listeners of the issues and concerns that effect that change.
