THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained. This week: 1. "Artificial Photosynthesis". Photosynthesis is simple: plants take carbon dioxide and water - and, using energy provided by sunlight - turn it into oxygen and carbohydrate. They are just good enough at this to continue their existence but Australian researchers are planning to be much better, once they solve four difficult challenges. 2. "Smart Shower". The drought has brought a greater awareness that Australia is a dry continent. Too dry really for the long showers that some of us used to enjoy. 3. "More Light Than Heat". On sunny days, offices and cars can quickly become very hot. Blinds and other barriers cool things down, but the cost is lost light. [%]


2105 -
VERBATIM - oral histories with David Mark. This week: "Laraine Wheeler: Behind the Spotlights". Old-style theatrical trouper, Laraine Wheeler, has worked with many of the greats in Australian theatre, opera and dance, but always from behind the spotlight – never in it. She spent twenty-one years at the Adelaide Festival Centre in the lighting department – but that’s only half her career. Among many other companies, Laraine has worked with the Australian Opera, the Australian Dance Theatre, the South Australian Theatre Company, Handspan Theatre and Phillipe Genty. But just as she never wanted to be a performer, she’s not much of a name dropper, so we don't hear about her season with Joan Sutherland, or what the young Graham Murphy was like to work with. Instead she talks about what it’s been like to be a hardworking professional doing a very practical job in an industry where the glamour is only on the surface. Laraine Wheeler has worked as a stage hand, stage manager, electrical technician and lighting designer. [T;%]
2130 -
IN CONVERSATION - Robyn Williams talks to scientists and those interested in the subject, about what science has meant to their lives.

Lyn Gallacher attended the recent centenary celebrations in Dublin of Bloomsday, which saw a vast gathering of Joyce scholars and devotees. But events were blighted by the decision of Joyce's grandson Stephen to place extraordinary restrictions on the use of his grandfather's material.
