In a small podcast series, scientists present the background and goals of the CEDRIC project
They aim to spark interest in the question of what microorganisms have to do with climate change. The series not only highlights their role as producers and consumers of climate-relevant gases, but also explores how microorganisms can be used to help plants—and therefore agriculture—become more climate-resilient.
Episode 1: Sounds of Science
In this first episode, Anna Greissing talks with Heribert Insam and addresses the growing public skepticism toward science. The CEDRIC project is briefly introduced, along with efforts to bring it to a wider audience through new communication formats such as Sounds of Science (https://www.soundsofscience.at/) and MikroMondo (https://www.mikrobalpina.org/). These formats aim to foster enthusiasm for science—especially for the fascinating world of microorganisms.
Stay tuned for upcoming episodes as we dive deeper into the invisible world of microorganisms and their powerful role in shaping our climate and future agriculture!
