This popular American radio programme about science and philosophy is aimed at an audience of general listeners and is characterised by its innovative sound design. Each podcast takes a broad theme, such as Parasites, Placebo or Games and takes an exploratory, associative approach to the subject, aiming to stimulate curiosity rather than reach a definitive conclusion about the chosen topic. Each show is divided into several parts, featuring interviews with experts and occasional ventures into audience participation and ‘thought experiments’. The programme’s host Jad Abumrad is a trained musician and his background as a composer is evident in the podcast’s approach to sound, where music, speech and effects overlap, forming an integral part of the programme’s experimental, freewheeling ethos.

This website - the world’s first virtual 3D fossil collection - is the result of a project led by the British Geological Survey. The database, which is still being populated, aims ultimately to hold records of all macrofossil species and subspecies found in the UK, including links to high resolution 2D photographs, stereo (anaglyph) photographs and a selection of 3D digital models, many of which can be reproduced by 3D printers. Freely available and aimed at researchers, university and school students as well as amateur geologists, the database collects information about invertebrates, bivalves, corals and plants, with plans to expand in the future to dinosaur bones and skeletons. Detailed metadata for each record, including locality, age, taxonomic identification and registration number, means that highly refined searches are possible. A selection of free software packages for viewing and manipulating 3D images can be downloaded here.

This site aims to promote the creation of innovative video content about plant life and make the best of these films accessible and easy to view on a single website. The site began in 2008 as a competition, with funding and support from three plant biology organisations and Penn State University’s Institutes of Energy and the Environment. The films are divided into two broad categories: General videos are intended for a broad audience, while films in the Technical category are for classroom or research use and are aimed at viewers with some academic background in plant sciences. Although the site appears not to have been updated since 2010, most of the videos are still available.
