Process Chats: Dr Matthew Burnett
Process with Pinky
If you are curious about the hidden templates and series of affairs that make up our everyday journeys, from atoms to whole buildings, emotions and everything in between, then this is the place for you. We will explore it all together as learners and peculiarly charmed pilgrims who have the Gusto of first-time Explorers in familiar but new lands.
Listen on:
A sugar-shedding golden cocoa with a wild heart for Earth, Science and All things Art!
Process With Pinky
Hi! I’m Pinky Ketswaretswe Naicker.
I am a Scientist (chemistry major), a Radio Broadcaster (Impact Radio), and an Aspiring Author. I live in the administrative capital of South Africa, Pretoria with my family, and through my work, I have become an avid believer that Science should not just stay on paper. I bring to our attention, the many ways that it unfolds itself right in front of our everyday lives through the visible and invisible processes we stumble upon.
Whether we are aware or not, there is a language in the way our lives move, and if we are open enough, we will find that its forms and structures are an invitation for us to live thoughtful, meaningful, and adventurous lives.
