Kelsey and Anna talk with Randa Al-Obayyat, a university student from Palestine visiting ICTP's FabLab with colleagues from Science for People, a science outreach group in the West Bank that hopes to open their own FabLab soon.

Quantum computation pioneer David Deutsch of the University of Oxford is working on something new: constructor theory. A new way to describe and understand the underlying principles of physics, he hopes it will be a fundamental theory of how we understand the world.

Quantum computing is a long way from molecular motion studies... or maybe not. We talk with Charles H. Bennett about how his PhD and experiences early in his scientific career inadvertently prepared him to be a quantum computing pioneer.

Anna and Kelsey talk to Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne about his long history of doing outreach and science communication, including projects on paintings, movies, and music.

Kelsey and Anna asked Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne the question that nearly every scientist daydreams about: what is it like to win a Nobel Prize? Thorne shares his experience and his thoughts on the 2017 win, honoring work on the LIGO collaboration.

Anna and Kelsey got to ask Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne about a new type of project he's working on: making movies based on science, including the 2014 film Interstellar.

Kelsey and Anna got a chance to sit down with Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne while he was at ICTP: this episode features his remarks on the LIGO collaboration and gravitational waves.

Anna talks with Federico Bernardini, of ICTP's Multidisciplinary Laboratory, about ancient Rome's land use planning and the search for old Roman roads across the Carso surrounding Trieste, using some of the great tools in the MLab.

SciVibes dives in and has coffee with Professor Valérie Masson-Delmotte, chatting about her paleoclimate research, the process of writing her books, and the goals of the IPCC meeting that brought her to Trieste.

SciVibes and hosts Kelsey and Anna bring you casual conversations with global scientists, fascinating casual chats that happen at coffee breaks and in the corridors.
