About us

Science on the Table is a science informational podcast that aims to connect South Africans to current science research.

The show is hosted by Dr Shane Redelinghuys, a microbiologist who does research on bugs that can’t be seen with the naked eye. He enjoys the exchange of knowledge between people and is passionate about clear science communication.

He loves (stopping short of obsessed with) distance running, being out in nature and connecting with people on a personal level,

And Caitlin Clarence, a physiotherapist from Pretoria. She is passionate about sport and fitness and loves educating patients on injury prevention and management, and on getting strong through exercise.

She has a curious mind and loves to chat all things science and how things work on a mechanistic level. In her spare time she does triathlons, loves to read, and participate in quiz games.

This podcast is designed to be all in the name of science, but even more, in the name of fun.
