    This German website (with subtitles in English) consists of a series of video interviews with women scientists about their careers, lives and experiences with science. Each video takes as its starting point an object which is significant in some way to the women’s life as a scientist - an old sofa, a begonia, a fragment of rock - and then proceeds from there. This anecdotal approach makes for a fascinating and revealing series of interviews, in which these women talk about what motivates and drives them as they talk about how they balance the demands of career and personal life.

    Series of short films by video journalist Brady Haran, who interviews scientists and researchers from Nottingham Trent University about the men and women who have inspired them. The answers range from familiar names such as Rosalind Franklin, Alan Turing and Charles Darwin, to less well-known figures and even - in the form of Star Trek’s Mister Spock - fictional inspirations.

    Information Sources

    This interactive site allows you to scroll in and out to see the relative size of objects from the smallest - quantum foam and string - to the largest - the universe - and plenty of examples in between. Each of the items are clickable to show interesting facts or give more information about the item. For example, it tells us that ‘Rhode Island at 75 kilometres is the smallest state in the USA. However, it could still fit the world’s population on it.' The site was created for fun by a fourteen year old boy from California, with help from his twin brother. The site is also available in several world languages including even Esperanto.

    The official website of the Nobel Prize includes audio and video material of interviews, lectures and speeches by Nobel Laureates as well as biographical information, transcripts of speeches and links to other resources. The audiovisual material is scattered across the site rather than organised as a single resource, which can be frustrating, but there are riches here if one takes the time to seek them out. Noteworthy examples include this excerpt from Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz’s Nobel lecture, from December 1980, and a video recording of Martin Luther King’s acceptance speech on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
