Naked Scientists
BBC Cambridgeshire is the home of multi award-winning science programme The Naked Scientists, a group of Cambridge University doctors and researchers with a passion for making science fun. They strip down science and lay the facts bare every Sunday evening, inviting listeners to call in and talk science. They are joined in the studio by a succession of guest scientists who talk about their work and take questions live from the audience. The current series of The Naked Scientists launched in October 2005.
The Naked Scientists is supported by a website, which contains archived editions of their previous programmes in streamed and podcast formats.
The Naked Scientists is broadcast across the BBC East region comprising eight local BBC radio stations in the east of England. The name of the programme is a nod to Jamie Oliver, a cook whose television programme is called the Naked Chef, who grew up in Clavering to the south east of Cambridge.

Famous quotes containing the word scientists:
“Maybe we were the blind mechanics of disaster, but you don’t pin the guilt on the scientists that easily. You might as well pin it on M motherhood.... Every man who ever worked on this thing told you what would happen. The scientists signed petition after petition, but nobody listened. There was a choice. It was build the bombs and use them, or risk that the United States and the Soviet Union and the rest of us would find some way to go on living.”
—John Paxton (1911–1985)
