The Let's Dive In podcast, supported by Research Ireland/ Taighde Éireann, features ten thrilling new episodes launching during Dublin's Science Week 2025, which runs from November 9 to 16. In each episode, Julie and Phil find experts, and sometimes experiments, to help explain the answers, exploring topics from how hedgehogs survive hibernation to why you get constipated – there are no such things as awkward questions!
