A new kind of talk series
ResearchUnpacked.
Short, clear talks by real researchers — from physics to history, sports science to music. No jargon. No prerequisites. Just ideas worth sharing.

The format
Research, without the complexity
We believe every researcher has something fascinating to share — if given the right stage and the right questions.
Research Unpacked is a live talk series that invites masters students, PhD researchers, and postdoctoral scientists to step outside the seminar room and speak directly to a curious public audience.
Each talk is around 10 minutes — long enough to go somewhere interesting, short enough to stay sharp. Researchers pick from a set of guiding lenses to frame their talk, making it accessible without sacrificing depth.
From experimental physics to oral history, from sports biomechanics to musicology — if you're a researcher, you belong on this stage.
Talk lenses
- “Explain it in the simplest terms”
- “Why does it matter?”
- “A day in the life of a researcher”
- “What I actually work with”
- “Who I work alongside”
- “The future of my field”
- “Who inspired me”
- “A tour of my working environment”
- “Why should we care?”
- “What people usually get wrong about my field”
- “How this shows up in everyday life”
- “The biggest question we still can't answer”
- “What surprised me most when I started”
- “If you wanted to get into this, where would you start?”
