Curious Conversations, a research podcast
Curious Conversations is a series of free-flowing conversations with Virginia Tech researchers that take place at the intersection of world-class research and everyday life.
Produced by Virginia Tech's Office of Research and Innovation and hosted by writer and editor Travis Williams, university researchers share their expertise and motivations, as well as the practical applications of their work in a format that more closely resembles chats at a cookout than classroom lectures.
If you know of an expert (or are that expert) who’d make for a great conversation, email Travis today.
