This time, we visit Imperial College London to chat with Robert Sternberg, course leader of the Science Media Production MSc, a degree that has produced some of the industry's top science-specialist talent. Robert's inspiration is the 1984 Horizon episode Professor Bonner and the Slime Molds, a character study of a scientist working at the fascinating boundary between single-celled and multicellular life. Along the way, we talk French New Wave cinema (1960's À Bout De Souffle and 1959's Hiroshima, Mon Amour) and the philosophy of science.
