This site posts one sentence ‘Tweetable’ summaries of recent scientific research which is relevant in some way to everyday life. The podcast, which began in September 2015, consists of hour long discussions about the research, aiming to explore the summaries in more depth. Each podcast is about an hour long and consists of a rotating panel of experts. Attractively laid out and easy to navigate, users can explore a range of broad subject headings including Health, Nutrition, Creativity, Persuasion, Productivity and Sleep. Users can click through the summary to find the original research (or a detailed summary thereof) as presented in the relevant scientific journal. Scholarly, yet accessible, this resource has potential appeal and use to a general listenership as well as science students, researchers and postgraduates.

The Science Gallery is a public science centre at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Opened in 2008 and housed in Trinity’s Naughton Institute, it holds exhibitions and lectures with a view to science outreach and art-science collaborations. Unlike most science centres, it has no permanent collection, but rather a series of 4-6 temporary exhibitions each year. The Video section of the website hosts video podcasts of recent events including the performance artist ORLAN talking about the future of the human body, and a debate by leading scientists on the ethics of synthetic biology. The podcast section offers a small number of audio podcasts on a wide range of topics including neuroscience, the portrayal of scientists in movies and the relationship between technology, business and art,
