Can Darwin's theory of evolution be applied to cultural institutions like the family? If so, how can it help us to understand how family structures have evolved? If not, what are the limitations of a Darwinian approach? In this album, Ruth Mace, Professor of Evolutionary Biology at UCL in London, reveals how she uses a Darwinian approach to study diverse human populations. In particular, she focuses her discussion on family size, exploring how Darwinian concepts such as evolutionary trade-offs can help explain why modern families are getting smaller and smaller. The tracks on this album were produced by The Open University in collaboration with the British Council. They form part of Darwin Now, a global initiative celebrating the life and work of Charles Darwin and the impact his ideas about evolution continue to have on today’s world. © The British Council 2009.

How - and why - would you build a machine 10,000 times thinner than a human hair? This album features experts discussing the paradigm shift that is occurring in science. Scientists are learning to manipulate atoms on the scale of a billionth of a metre and control them to perform specific tasks. They can emulate biological and chemical systems to fabricate machines that will destroy cancer cells in the body, giving us nano-drugs of the future; and IBM is using nano-technology for information storage on a molecular scale. There are many other applications which will have a significant impact on the way we live. This album also provides an introduction to quantum computing and quantum mechanics. The material forms part of The Open University course S250 Science in context.

In the face of climate breakdown, we tell different stories: those of local action, connectedness and hope. We celebrate the people working together at all levels to create thriving places that are safer, healthier and more sustainable. Sparking inspiration and sharing advice that help more of us get involved and enjoy the positives. From UK charity, Carbon Copy, who brought you a national collection of climate action stories told by 1,000 local organisations from across the UK; area-specific information about our changing climate and your local Climate Action Plans; and nationwide events that bring people together.
Our latest series, launched spring 2024 and hosted by Carbon Copy's Chief Storyteller Isabelle Sparrow is an exploration of the people behind the projects. Every fortnight, a new guest or guests will share their story, and with it their infectious passion and dedication to their cause.
Series 2, Civic Revolution, is a short three-part audiobook about the clash between our culture and wellbeing; and the power of community to resolve this conflict. It’s a rallying cry about learning from history, mending the link between people and places, and finding hope through action. Adapted from the book ‘Civic Revolution’ and narrated by its author and Carbon Copy co-founder, Ric Casale.
Our first series, Copy This, addressed some of the challenges – as well as celebrated the triumphs – of working together to make a really big impact in the world around us. Co-hosted by Ric Casale, and podcasting veteran Amanda Carpenter (presenter of the Planet Pod Podcast), we explored ambitious projects tackling wide-ranging climate and social issues including the degradation of natural landscapes, energy supply, food security and flood risks.

"Theory of Relativity: Simplified" makes Einstein’s groundbreaking ideas accessible to everyone. We break down complex topics like special relativity, general relativity, time dilation, mass-energy equivalence (E=mc²), and gravitational waves in a clear, step-by-step manner. Discover how time slows down, why moving objects shrink, and how gravity warps spacetime—all explained in a way that anyone can understand. Whether you’re a beginner or just curious, join us to explore the wonders of relativity, one concept at a time.

Change, diversity and uncertainty are unavoidable features of modern life. Collectively, we may be living through a major transformation in society and the traditions that hold it together. Individually, we may face increasing barriers to taking responsibility for our own destinies, exercising power and making our own decisions. The tracks on this album focus on these and other big issues in the contemporary world. The past and the future - the Welfare State through to Globalisation. The material forms part of the course DD100, An introduction to the social sciences: understanding social change.

Welcome to Surgery 101, a series of podcasts produced with the help of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. The podcasts are intended to serve as brief introductions or reviews of surgical topics for medical students. We've aimed to cover a single topic in between 10-20 minutes so that you can quickly get a good idea of the basic concepts involved. Every episode is divided into chapters and concludes with several key points to summarize the topic. We are always keen to receive your feedback on our podcasts, and we are accepting suggestions for additional topics. New episodes are published every Friday.
'Surgery 101' was created by Dr Parveen Boora and Dr Jonathan White, and is supported by the Department of Surgery at the University of Alberta. Our 2010 series of podcasts are brought to you by the Undergrad Surgery Mobile Podcasting Studio Team which is: Jonathan, Jenni and Tracy, with the assistance of the Surgery 101 Experts of Edmonton.
Note to experts: please note that these podcasts are only intended as brief introductions for medical students - we cannot delve into the more complex nuances of advanced surgery in a 10-minute podcast. We encourage all listeners to supplement their learning by seeing patients, assisting at surgeries and reading widely! -
We live in a world filled with material wealth, live longer and healthier lives, and yet anxiety, stress, unhappiness, and depression have never been more common. What are the driving forces behind these interlinked global epidemics?
In this series, Professor Mark Williams (Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow at Oxford University) and Dr Danny Penman discuss the recent scientific advances that have radically altered our understanding of depression and related disorders. Also discussed is the latest treatments and therapies that are offering hope to those suffering from depression.
Professor Williams co-developed Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), a treatment for anxiety, stress and depression that is at least as effective as drugs at preventing new episodes of depression. It's now one of the preferred treatments for depression recommended by the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. The same technique, based upon an ancient form of meditation, can also help us cope more effectively with the relentless demands of our increasingly frantic world. Professor Williams and Dr Penman co-authored the bestselling book Mindfulness: Finding Peace in a Frantic World. -
