Research Records is a monthly podcast hosted by Professor Marie Kinsey (Journalism) and Professor Tony Ryan OBE (Chemistry) from The University of Sheffield. Each month they are joined by esteemed guests from The University of Sheffield (and occasionally further afield) for a lively and engaging chat about their personal and professional journey alongside their own soundtrack to academic adventure, all over the course of about an hour.

Our latest guest is Helen Sharman (CMG, OBE, HonFRSC) who was the first British person and Western European woman to go into space. Helen was born in Sheffield and obtained a BSc in Chemistry at The University of Sheffield in 1984 before undertaking a PhD from Birbeck.
