Elizabeth Connor Elizabeth Connor Wellington I'm a 'Science Communicator' by profession, which means I translate the incomprehensible murmurings of scientists into language for normal people. I studied Physics and Science Communication at uni and have been writing and making podcasts about science and other stuff for about 7 years. Last year I won the Prime Minister's Science Communication Prize in New Zealand, which has given me the incredible opportunity to spend a couple of years developing my skills. Among other things I'm using the time to work on a crazy new podcast series called "The Nano-Adventures of Elf and Loo" with a very enthusiastic physicist called Elf. I think radio is a delicious medium. There's something immediate and personal about it - the fact that you can slip a microphone in to a conversation almost without the person noticing means you can get a really honest unself-conscious response. I love talking to people. When you hit on something they love they get a sparkle in their eyes that you can flow. The conversation comes alive and something interesting, real and often funny comes out. I'm always looking for ways to induce these unself-conscious moments and capture them on tape. I also love editing - mixing sounds, music and voices to create sound-scapes that take you to another place and evoke an emersive atmosphere and emotion.
