À l'UM la science is back for a 4th season!
Every week, A l'UM la science brings you the latest news from the laboratories of the University of Montpellier and its partners. Co-produced with local radio station Divergence FM, A l'UM la science is now in its fourth season. The program continues with a 20-minute interview with a researcher on a recent publication, a report on one of the many research platforms and a focus on a scientific event for the general public. Hosted by Lucie Lecherbonnier and Aline Périault, the program is broadcast every Wednesday at 6pm on Divergence and available as a podcast on UM platforms every Thursday.

Every year, more than 6,000 scientific publications come out of the laboratories of the University of Montpellier and its partners. Every week, the UM and local radio station Divergence FM invite you to discover a recently published paper, with explanations from its author(s). From economics to ecology, from biology to robotics, from law to chemistry, not forgetting medicine, educational sciences or mechanics, male and female researchers take to the airwaves for a 20-minute interview with the general public.
What is the ecological and social impact of mining transactions linked to the ecological transition? How can we improve the performance of Paralympic athletes or prevent burn-out among France's mayors? What kind of food do students have access to, or how is the monkey pox virus transmitted? These are just some of the questions asked on the A l'UM la science program since September.
In the second half of the program, a 5-minute report opens the doors to the many research platforms of the University of Montpellier and its partners. From the atomic force microscope at the Sète marine station to the battery testing room at the Pôle Chimie Balard, you'll be amazed at the diversity of cutting-edge equipment available in the region.
Finally, the last three minutes' guest extends the scientific experience by announcing an event open to the general public in Montpellier or the surrounding area.
A program prepared and hosted by Lucie Lecherbonnier and Aline Périault.
The show is broadcast weekly on Divergence FM on Wednesdays at 6pm, Thursdays at 12pm and Saturdays at 6pm.
The shows are available as podcasts every Thursday on the Divergence FM website, on the Université de Montpellier website and on all podcast platforms.
