THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained. This week: "Ahoy
There". In 'The Kraken Wakes', John Wyndham's 1953 sci-fi classic,
aliens adapted to very high pressure invade Earth's ocean depths and
begin to take over the planet. More than half a century later we still
know more about the surface of the moon than we do about the ocean
floor. But Australian researchers are using state of the art technology
to map deep oceans. Richard Aedy goes to sea - well, Sydney Harbour -
to find out more. [%]
2105 -

Is it possible to trace the genetics of poor reading? Prof. Brian Byrne

trace the origins of illiteracy in our genes. As reading has been
possible for only a few hundred years how could it be linked to what we
once did in the forests and on the plains? And how could such knowledge
help treatment? [%]

Broadbent. It could be said that this week’s programme is really on the
nose as science harnesses the power of the Internet to capture the
imagination of young people. A Smellologist explains how and why he’s
going to post smells on the web. This is definitely the era of the
Superchef. Names like Paul Bocuse, Gordon Ramsey and even our very own
Neil Perry come immediately to mind. But what is it that makes a Chef
Super and why is it that Australia, with its rich culinary landscape,
doesn’t have more of them? The Creative Director of the Melbourne Food
and Wine Festival provides a feast of answers. And as some of
Australia’s major rivers struggle to survive a group of South
Australian school children have taken matters into their own hands with
a message to our politicians to clean up their act.

Chalmers and astrophysicist Paul Davies with Natasha Mitchell at the
Australian Science Festival. We know it more intimately than another
experience. Yet it remains one of the greatest mysteries of science.
From animal minds to artificial intelligence - the conundrum of
consciousness has everyone stumped. [%]

landscape. Join Alexandra de Blas on Earthbeat's magical mystery tour
of some of the most spectacular flora on earth. [T;%]
0905
THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "2024 Dreaming,
Part 2 - House of Dreams". You've heard about the underpants that
monitor your heart rate, well what about a home that tracks your vital
signs and lets your GP know when you're in trouble; or the house that's
manufactured like a car with crash proof micro computers embedded in
the walls. It sounds like a fantasy, but these innovations are likely
reality in the home of 2024. Climate change, population growth and the
aging baby boomers will drive radical changes in the way our homes are
built. But if sustainability is our goal we'll have to change our
behaviour. Renting our clothes is one of the options. [%]
