Join in the Cambridge Science Festival excitement, and see what Peter Wothers gets up to in his

science festival lectures! Of course, Peter Wothers has put together another lecture for this year's

festival. If you're near Cambridge, why don't you come to the chemistry department on Saturday the

15th March 2008, where Peter will be giving his lecture three times, and a fourth time at Monday the 17th

of March! More info on the Cambridge Science Festival website at http://www.cambridgescience.org and

The Atlantic Ocean between them, Darwin in England and his friend and

co-scientist Asa Gray at Harvard worked to reconcile orthodox

Christian beliefs with Darwin's emerging theory of evolution by

natural selection. We enter their minds and worlds as - in their own

words - they debate the great issues of science and religion, war, and

slavery, but also share news of personal tragedies and triumphs,

holidays and gardening. This video brings you highlights of Re:Design, the dramatisation by Craig Baxter in collaboration

with Cambridge University's Darwin Correspondence Project

(http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk). Produced by Menagerie Theatre

Company, and filmed by Cambridge Media.

Ben Valsler goes in search of some cracking physics, Meera Senthilingam joins a school group counting down to engineering mayhem, Chris Smith talks to some researchers about the the mathematics of chicken disease, and Sabina Michnowicz finds some drunken water fleas.

In this episode Anna Lacey finds out what is exciting about chemistry, Chris looks at the bugs in Dr Gillian Fraser's mouth, Ben avoids getting eaten by dinosaurs with time truck, Meera looks at the power of vegetables, and Chris looks a sheep in the eye.

n this episode Mark Lewney uses rock guitar to explain the mysteries of the universe, festival-goers extract their own DNA, and find out what you get when you cross a sheep with a jet engine... We also peer inside the wacky world of the Ig Nobel Prizes, where research into woodpecker headache avoidance and a novel cure for hiccups makes people laugh, and then think.

This episode stars Nicola Buckley the festival coordiator, Dr Tom Hynes talking about silent aircraft, Dr Claire Rocks showing teenagers the nuts and bolts of robots. Also, Tom Hynes airs his views about silent aircraft of the future, and our own Sabina Michnowicz braves the dark to explore the heavens at the Institute of Astronomy.

Why is nose snot is good for your lungs, and how to make electricity from hairy legs! Dave Ansell is

also one of the Naked Scientists (see our previous podcast), and he's always out and about at the Cambridge Science Festival with the CHaoS crowd, bringing exciting science to a young audience!

In case CHaoS doesn't mean anything to you - check out the CHaoS movie and other movies from the Cambridge Science Festival at

Popular scientist Dr Chris Smith presents a radio programme on parasites and ultraviolet LED's for clean water.

Join in the Cambridge Science Festival excitement! This time Helen Czerski takes us to the physics department at Cambridge, known as the Cavendish laboratoy. She turns the oxygen in a ballon liquid, explaining how the molecules zoom around. She shows us how to tell a real diamond from a fake diamond. Finally, she shows us a really big gun - the single stage gas gun at the Cavendish, which can fire objects at 1000s of miles per hour. She shows us how the diamond cracks when shot at with very high speed. Finally, she shows us what happens when a drop of water falls through a soap bubble.
