  • 60. Dr Alfredo Carpineti on Invisible Rainbows, the Unseen Universe and Pride in STEM
    Jan 11 2026

    "I blame dinosaurs, and I blame London."

    Astrophysicist and science communicator Dr Alfredo Carpineti (IFLScience, The Big Questions; creator of The Astroholic Explains; founder and chair of Pride in STEM) joins Humanism Now to explore why the cosmos still sparks childlike wonder, how great science communication balances accuracy with storytelling, and why his upcoming book Invisible Rainbows pairs “unseen light” with the human stories too often left out.
