The Medical Research Council’s aim is to improve human health through world-class medical research. It supports research across the biomedical spectrum, from fundamental lab-based science to clinical trials, and in all major disease areas. It works closely with the NHS and the UK Health Departments to delive research that is likely to make a real difference to clinical practice and the health of the population. The Council hosts a series of short films on 100 years of life changing discoveries on its YouTube channel,other topics include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) lab grown thymus, and the immune system and transplantation. The site hosts MRC Talks, a short series of podcasts which accompany the online Network magazine: one episode looks at how a group of scientists at the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit in Bristol are practising open science – the art of making their research freely available online.

EuroStemCell, launched March 2010, unites more than 90 European stem cell and regenerative research medicine laboratories in a coordinated effort to engage with the public about the research science.The organisation is in a partnership with scientists, clinicians, ethicists, social scientists and science communicators and also works closely with teachers and patient representatives. The site includes stem cell research news, guest blogs and newsletters, blogs and commentary on research findings. A small number of films on stem cell research are streamed on the site and available for sale on DVD. EuroStemCell is funded by the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).

Ed Prosser is a multi-media producer with a background in science. This site features his work, in audio and video, including films made for the Ri, podcasts and audio documentaries. Prosser also provides links to and comments on other science videos which he finds interesting. One of the most useful aspects of the site, are the extensive production notes which accompany each film. These notes explore the challenges of making science films. Prosser looks at the technical aspects of filmmaking: how to integrate interviews, animation, slides, what equipment to use etc. but also explores the challenges of how to clearly present complex scientific ideas to a YouTube audience without sacrificing accuracy.

The goal of this website is to explain how environmental scientists work and why the work they do is important. The site is run by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the UK public body that supports and funds the natural and environmental sciences, via major environmental research centres: the British Antarctic Survey, the British Geological Survey, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, the National Centre for Earth Observation and the National Oceanography Centre. As well as News and Features sections there is a Podcasts and Video page, where various aspects of the work done by the above bodies are discussed.
