Hi guys, I run a popular science website "The Mr Science Show - your weekly prescription of popular science." http://www.mrscienceshow.com The idea is that we talk about science in a social context - so the issues people want to hear about - in a fun and entertaining manner. The website has been around for a year now and so contains quite a lot of information, from more serious topics on the events of 2006, to "The Travelling Scientist" and "The Beer Drinking Scientists" series, in which we look at the science around us, on the road, or over a beer chatting to people down at the pub. There is also a series on love, plenty of links and resources. All of this is captured on the podcast as well. Starting up this year there will be podcast, book and website reviews. The podcast has been running for a year now and has been getting plenty of downloads - it has been featured on the front page of itunes podcasts. There are video podcasts, live radio shows and live field recordings. The link is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/MrSciencePodcast Or look it up in itunes. Feel free to write into the site, digg the stories or the podcast, or leave comments on itunes. Looking forward to seeing you there. Marc

Hi guys, I'm also a newbie, and would like to let you know about a popular science blog I have recently set up in conjunction with a weekly radio show I run in China: http://www.misterscience.blogspot.com As far as I know, there is not that much science communication in China, at least not in the mainstream press, so I'd be interested to see what you think. The show has a podcast which is linked on that site. The latest story we did was about the internet and web2.0, which is interesting as sites like wikipedia and blogspot, supposed features of web2.0, are blocked in alot of China! So unfortunately the site can't be seen there, but it is in English and deals with general science questions in hopefully an easy to understand manner. The radio show has had some good feedback and I'd like it to have some internet presence. Cheers, Marc
