Science in the Arts and Media

This is a series of talks that examines the relationship between biology, the media and the arts. Previous talks have had Nick baker discuss the role of the presenter in communicating science to a wider audiences. Rebecca Stott (author of Ghost Walk and the Coral Thief) examined the role of the author in translating the history of science into fiction. While professor Nicky Clayton talked of how her research on corvid behaviours coupled with her passion for the tango led her to work with Ballet Rambert to develop a contemporary ballet based on the works of Charles Darwin.

This latest series will examine in detail how science and television interact. The natural history programs that we all love are fabulous spectacles which bring some of the biospheres most intriguing stories right  into our living rooms but how is this accomplished.
