Seventy scientists talk about their work on Cambridge 105 radio. They tell how maths, physics, chemistry and biology are put to use in ways they never told us about at school. Our not naked scientists worked in health, business and in University of Cambridge research. Share to help drive STEM careers. Interviews by Roger Frost, Chris Creese and the not naked science show radio team.
