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.

Lynne Malcolm he addresses some solutions to this problem. [%]

contests over access to a writer's material--that of the Irish author
James Joyce. 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

just one author's estate. [T;%]

of drama students at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts.
The six students, based in Broome, are studying for their certificate
