  2. The most important innovation challenge we face - The Science Show - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Energy production is arguably the biggest and most urgent problem we face. Despite this, the world seems welded to the old technology of burning carbon-based fuel to satisfy our energy needs. Technology for energy production using methods other than burning carbon-based fuels exists, and is being deployed, but the benefits of new technology are being overtaken by the increased coal being burnt. Big change is required and required soon. Richard Lester describes the path to a complete change in energy production and how innovation needs to be focused to allow the ambitious goals to be achieved.

    Guests:
    Richard Lester, Department Head Nuclear Science and Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard Massachusetts USA

    Publications:
    Title: Unlocking Energy Innovation
    Author: Richard Lester and David Hart

  4. Barbara Kingsolver On ‘Flight Behavior’ - WBUR: Here & Now - 11/09/2012

    Bestselling author Barbara Kingsolver is out with a new novel, “Flight Behavior.” Her well-known interest in social justice and her background as a biologist both come through.

    The Washington Post says “Flight Behavior” may be “the first great novel on climate change.”

    The book opens with young mother in impoverished Appalachian Tennessee heading up a mountainside to conduct an affair. She’s stopped in her tracks by what appear to be flames across the landscape.

  7. David Attenborough Part 1: Threat To Great Barrier Reef

    We take a tour with David Attenborough to look at some of his favourite parts of our immensely varied continent. From Lord Howe Island, where he did his knee in, to the Gogo fossil deposits in WA and the ancient life near Shark Bay. Of a range of threats to the Great Barrier Reef, David Attenborough cites rising acidity due to dissolved carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as the big over-riding threat to the reef.
