Three series of podcasts: ‘Science Talk’ is a weekly audio report by Steve Mirsky discussing the latest developments in science and technology through interviews with leading scientists and journalists. The service began in February 2006 and is available by podcast or online download. ‘60-Second Science’ is a daily, one-minute report or commentary on a topic of scientific interest. ‘60-Second Psych’ is a weekly, one-minute commentary on the latest studies in neuroscience and behaviour, which is issued each Thursday.
Scientific American Frontiers is an American television series hosted by Alan Alda and broadcast on PBS. Its site gives the current TV schedule, teaching materials, and a very impressive video archive of past programmes, searchable by topic or keyword. This offers either complete programmes or segments using Real or Windows Media Player, for low or high-band connections, with most having an accompanying transcript where users can click on a particular point in the transcript to access that point in the video. Topics covered include archaeology, astronomy, biology/nature, chemistry/physics, computers/technology, earth science, engineering/mathematics, medicine/health, and psychology/cognitive science. Some have links to PBS web features, teaching guides etc.
Part of the Internet Archive, which also covers archived moving images (The Internet Moving Images Archive), audio and software, the Wayback Machine holds cached versions of thousands of websites and billions of pages, allowing users to look at sites that are no longer available or at earlier versions of ones that are still around. An invaluable resource that, due to the gigantic nature of the holdings, is slightly hampered by the fact that no list of the holdings can be easily provided. This means inevitably that correct recall of the URL in question is necessary, or failing that, searching for it on the web first.
