Gin and Topic

How do we improve gender equality in the work place?’

Well, this week we’re going to try to answer that with Suw Charman-Anderson, the founder of Ada Lovelace Day… and our first guest with her own Wikipedia page!

Suw will also join us in a glass of Prairie gin, as she speaks to us all the way from America. 

Cheers!

This week we’re joined by Dr Clare Jonas, who’s going to be taking to us about synaesthesia!

Something which Áine never manages to spell right first time… but what is it? And why does it exist?

Join us as we try and answer those questions over a glass of Tarquins gin. 

Cheers!

Sarah’s been waiting for this one…

This week we’re talking all things climate (specifically climate justice) with Dr. Natalie Jones! 

Natalie is a Research associate at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) at the University of Cambridge, and she’ll be joining us for a glass of climate positive Nàdar gin. 

So join us as we ask, who decides how to fix the climate?

Cheers!

Welcome back to Gin & Topic! 

We’re so pleased to be back for our second series, and we’re kicking it off in style. Our guest is Dr Belinda Nicholson, a postdoctoral research assistant in the department of physics at Oxford university. 

Belinda is going to join us in drinking a glass of Moonshot gin, while talking all things space! Including where the best place to drink gin in the universe is...

Cheers!

Introducing, Ben! 

Our wonderful, and ever suffering, editor deserves his own episode. 

In this special episode, you can enjoy some snippets of us ‘chatting’ to Ben, and learn a little more about the brains behind Gin & Topic. 

Cheers!

Missing gin o’clock already? Here are the bits you didn’t get to hear! 

Silly, embarrassing, or just plain nonsense, these are the snippets that didn’t make it into series one, but made us laugh anyway. 

We’ll see you again soon… 

Cheers!

It’s the final episode of series one, and we’re going out with a bang! 

We’re going to be drinking Rock Rose gin with Harriet Bartlett – a PhD student in the department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge.

Harriet is going to be talking to us about sustainable farming, and for those (like Áine!) who have no idea what that means, that means meeting society’s present and future food needs without compromising… well, anything ideally! But we’ll let Harriet tell you more…

You can find Harriet on Twitter @HarrietBartlett, and while you’re there you can follow us @TopicGin, and the same on Instagram.

But for now, pour yourself a glass, and join us for the last episode of the series! Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon… Cheers!

This week we’re drinking Skegness Gin while talking to Kate Atkin!

Kate is a professional speaker, trainer and facilitator who specialises – and is currently studying for a PhD in - Imposter Syndrome. 

Or should we say… phenomenon. That’s right, our topic ‘Imposter Syndrome’ is the only Syndrome that isn’t a Syndrome! Try saying that five times fast… 

You can find Kate on Twitter @KateAtkin, and while you’re there you can follow us @TopicGin, and the same on Instagram.

But for now, pour yourself a glass, settle down, and join us. Cheers!

This week we’ll be drinking a gin from just down the road… and we’ve got two guests! 

We’re starting with a glass of Pinksters gin with Dr Sue Bailey - a food expert, media consultant and journalist, who runs the Cambridge Foodies – as she talks to us about the history of gin. 

Then, we’re going to be trying a Hedgepig gin liqueur with Stephen Marsh, the founder of Pinkster gin!

You can follow Sue on twitter @camfoodies, and while you’re there you can follow us @TopicGin, and the same on Instagram. 

But for now, it’s gin o’clock. Cheers!

This week we’ll be joined by Annie Howitt, a PhD student in the MRC Cancer Unit at the University of Cambridge. 

Together we’ll drink some Cuckoo Solace gin from the Brindle Distillery. We’re really pleased to have found this gin, as this week’s topic is Cancer, and for every bottle of this gin sold, they give a percentage of profits to Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust.

It’s hard to sensitively talk about the science and emotion with a topic like this, but Annie managed to combine both, brilliantly, and we feel it’s important to open up conversations around sometimes difficult topics.

You can find Annie on Twitter @AnnieHowitt, and while you’re there you can follow us @TopicGin, and the same on Instagram. 

But for now, pour yourself a glass, settle down, and join us. Cheers
