Stefan Gates presenting "Bang! The science of explosions", on the Universe Stage, during the Schools Day Programme, at New Scientist Live 2022
Stefan Gates has the best job in the world: he's a food adventurer. He spends his life working to inspire fascination with food and he does it it by cooking, exploring and occasionally blowing stuff up. Stefan graduated from Oxford University with a degree in English and worked in TV and film production as well as the BBC's New Comedy Department before he realized that all he really cared about was exploring extraordinary food stories and talking to people about them. He develops half of his own TV shows, and has made some pretty wild series to get people excited by what they eat: Food Factory (BBC1), Gastronuts (CBBC), Incredible Edibles (CBBC), Full on Food (BBC2), Cooking in the Danger Zone BBC2) and also lots of serious documentaries about hunger, conflict and anthropology: Can Eating Insects Save the World?, Feasts, Calves Heads and Coffee: The Golden Age of English Food (all BBC4). Stefan loves food science: Food Factory, E Numbers: An Edible Adventure (BBC2) and I particularly enjoy staging big live food stunt shows. Stefan likes cooking food that will blow your mind. A physics spectacular with BBC Gastronaut Stefan Gates. This show is packed with explosions and explores combustion, pressure, sound, elasticity, energy storage, pressure and sound. Expect mini-motorbikes, massive balloons, fireballs and flamethrowing. Stefan is renowned for his world-class science and food shows, on TV and live on stage.
