End of day two! We'll be back tomorrow, but in the meantime, you can watch the program repeat, and we've now also got the first clip available for archived viewing! See Live Schedule and click on "view stream" for items that show this option! All of yesterday is now available to watch again, and more to follow soon! Have fun! Here's round-up of today: The day kicked off with Liz interviewing Proffessor William Gosling and Professor Helen Haste about the place of emotions in science. They chatted about whether women are more in touch with their emotions than men and whether intuition has a place in science. Mike then chaired the "controversy of the day" debate: Is is possible to be a scientist and religious at the same time. Mike threw some difficult questions at them. All the panelists tackled the challenges with ease but Mike remains an unrepentant atheist. Matt then interviewed Manfred Bockmann and Mike Hoyland who kicked up a lot of foam in the studio. Stay tuned because tomorrow we will watch them blow up their own laboratory!! In the afternoon Charlotte spoke to three scientists turning their hands to acting. They will be talking about climate change and the geology and soil of East Anglia through the medium of alcohol!!! Are you intrigued? Then go along to the Norwhich playhouse tomorrow evening at 7:30. There will be lots of hands on experiments and the chance to taste some beer and wine. Charlotte then interviewed Caroline Furness from the institute of food research who was talking about the vitamin C content of food and managed to turn the juice of a kiwi pink! Liz returned to her childhood and made a brain out of play doh with Dr Lizzie burns and Dr Penny Fidler. Finally Charlotte debunked some urban myths about food with the help of Hugh Aldersey-Williams who talked about 17th century scientist philosopher and man of the arts Thomas Browne. All of this is becoming available in our watch again section, so click on Live Schedule, and then click on "view stream" for items that show this option!

debates and demonstrations. Liz will be discussing rationality and
emotions, Charlotte's looking to dispell a few urban myths about food and
Matt is discussing greener fuels for the future - with possibly a large
explosion at the end of it! Helen will be here for two more hands-on
science demonstrations and Mike brings you his first 'Controversy Debate'
- Is it possible to be a scientist and religious? What do you think? Email

Charlotte White talks to Hattie Well about the "Food Safety Project" |
|
Monday, 04 September 2006 |
|
Today I interviewed Hattie Wells of the global diversity foundation who came to give a lecture about the medicinal plant knowledge of the San people in Omaheke, South Namibia. After a long interest in the San, Hattie decided to work with them to create the "food safety project" - ensuring that these people living in very difficult conditions in the Namibian desert would be able to have access to a sustainable food source. She is also very interested in their healers, traditional healing rituals and medicinal plant knowledge. One important issue that has come out of her research is the need to foster greater interaction and understanding between healthcare policy and cultural knowledge of "health" and healing. Understanding the way in which people conceive of these words might help to create better understanding between local people and biomedical healthcare providers. (Charlotte White) |

First day done and dusted! So, the first day is done! Just a short programme today to whet your appetite before the marathon of live science begins tomorrow! We webcast the first of the BA Award Lectures all about the use of materials technology in sport - uncovering the secrets to jumping higher, biking faster and hitting that golf ball further! Liz started off her 'Science and the Arts' strand by talking to Jamie Ward about synasthesia. Charlotte delved into the anthropology of Namibia when talking to Hattie Wells about the use of medicinal plants across the world, a thought provoking beginning to the 'Science of Food' strand. And Helen Czerski, our resident hands-on science expert, gave her first show in her 'Everyday Science' slot - an inspiring look at all the stuff around you that is always taken for granted! All programming from Monday is now in the archive, click on Live Schedule and choose the bits you want to watch! |
