In this segment, CivicSciTV's Questions of the Day Host Fanuel Muindi talks with Sumeet Kulkarni, an Astrophysics PhD candidate (at the time of recording) from the University of Mississippi and a science writer with a passion for science communication and education. The topic? The landscape of the fascinating world of data sonification - the practice of converting scientific data into sound. The conversation is anchored on Kulkarni's article titled "The sounds of science" which he published as a science news intern at the LA Times during his stint in the 2022 AAAS Mass Media Fellowship program. Kulkarni takes us into the inspiration behind the article and shares insights on what he learned about the evolving landscape of data sonification and its potential to transform the way we understand scientific discoveries and engage the broader public.
