\u201cAnd if all of us don\u2019t form the beating heart of such a city, I fear what it will look like in a few years\u2019 time.\u201d This is a quote by the poet laureate of the city of Rotterdam, Dean Bowen, in the first episode of the Erasmus Verbindt podcast. The students who initiated the podcast wish to show that science and the city do go hand in hand.<\/p>\n

In the Stadswandelingen<\/em> podcast, the students behind Erasmus Verbindt do something a little out of the ordinary. They walk through the city. While doing so, they are joined by academics as well as poets, politicians, people who work in the port and other Rotterdammers. The podcasters\u2019 objective is to highlight what issues people in the city are concerned about and how scientists can help solve these issues.<\/p>\n

All too often, says Max Wagenaar, who initiated the podcast, cities and their universities are two distinct entities (the age-old \u2018town and gown\u2019 dichotomy). \u201cWe wish to make science more accessible by means of this podcast\u201d, says the philosophy student. \u201cSo we\u2019ll be going on walks. This will make knowledge of the city more specific, more tangible and so more palpable. Questions such as \u2018how will all these plans to construct more new houses affect the people who have lived here for several generations\u2019 take on more meaning when you\u2019re waiting for a traffic light to turn green in Tweebosbuurt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t
