Description

Curious about what it’s really like to work, study, or create in science, engineering, technology and innovation? On The Iferia TechCast, we chat with students, researchers, tech pros, and innovators shaping these fields. Hear real stories of breakthroughs and breakdowns, late-night problem solving, failed experiments, and big wins. If you’ve ever debugged code at 2 a.m., accidentally blown something up in a lab, or fought to turn an idea into reality — this show’s for you. Want to be a guest ?
