Have you heard? The Buzz is back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again we’re asking some of the biggest questions in science and engineering; and once again we’ve enlisted the help of our incredible academics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting us off to a stellar start is Dr Ciara McGrath<\/a>, Lecturer in Aerospace Systems in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering<\/a>, and \u2013 very impressively \u2013 the Institution of Engineering (IET) Young Woman Engineer of the Year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dr
Dr Ciara McGrath<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here she tackles a question that’s astronomical in both senses of the word: Are we entering a new space age?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With lots of talk of billionaire astronauts, space tourism and venturing further than we’ve ever gone before, it’s the perfect blast-off for season three. Dr McGrath talks about the future of the space industry, the potential of satellites, and much, much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So buckle up \u2013 and listen up \u2013 in T-minus three, two, one\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
