DSTI-NRF CIMERA is excited to announce the launch of CIMERA Corner, a new podcast dedicated to making geoscience more accessible through engaging, meaningful conversations.

The podcast creates a space where research comes to life, science becomes more approachable, and the people behind the discoveries take centre stage.

In the inaugural episode, Prof Nikki Wagner, Director of DSTI-NRF CIMERA, and Prof Susan Webb, Co-Director of DSTI-NRF CIMERA, discuss the future of critical minerals in Africa, the vision behind the Centre, and why geoscience matters in today’s rapidly changing world.

Through conversations with researchers, students, alumni, industry experts and collaborators, CIMERA Corner aims to bridge the gap between scientific research and the broader public by translating complex topics into conversations that are relevant, relatable and easy to understand.

This is just the beginning, with future episodes set to explore international research experiences, postgraduate journeys, industry perspectives, student stories and the people shaping the future of mineral and energy resource science.
