Fireside Chat with Dale Dougherty & Fredrik Jansson [Video]

Join us for a conversation with Fredrik Jansson, author of Make: Radio, to talk about fun experiments with radio.

Those who grew up building crystal radios and then became radio enthusiasts think of radio waves as magical, a kind of hidden universe. Join us for a Fireside Chat with Make: Radio author Fredrik Jansson who will be our guide to exploring the hidden universe of radio waves.  In his book, Make: Radio, he demystifies the world of radio through a dozen hands-on projects, enabling readers to build inexpensive radio circuits such as transmitters and receivers, remote controls, and a working metal detector. Radio concepts are also adapted for the Raspberry Pi Pico, updating classic concepts with contemporary tools for accuracy and power.

Fredrik Jansson enjoys tinkering with electronics and is a licensed radio amateur. He works as a researcher on the physics of clouds at the Delft University of Technology and develops weather models that run on supercomputers. He has a PhD in Physics from Åbo Akedemi University in Finland and lives in Amsterdam.
