0315 -
Mon.: IN CONVERSATION - about scientific matters. This week: "Catherine
Livingstone, Chair of CSIRO". A look at innovation in Australia, and
why some seemingly great ideas don’t make it to market and don’t
transform our world. [%]
Tue.: OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp commentary about science. This week: "An
Indo-European Odyssey". Whatever traits separate us from our ape
cousins, spoken language is a clear candidate. Neuroscientist Prof John
Bradshaw discusses the evolution of language and the parallels between
worldwide distributions of language and genetic groupings. [T;%]
Wed.: LINGUA FRANCA - looking at all aspects of language. This week:
"English Language Problems in Australian Universities". Professor David
Ingram on the use and abuse of IELTS: the International English
Language Testing System, which is used to measure the English language
proficiency of international students seeking admission to Australian
universities. [T;%]
Thu.: THE ARK - curious moments in religious history that shatter the
usual perception of the past and illuminate the present. This week:

Frank was also a Theosophist and a feminist, who used his story-telling
genius to convey spiritual insights. [T;%]

Drugs". The use of genetic screening can avoid an adverse drug reaction
in patients suffering from chronic HIV infection. Sensitivity to
commonly used HIV drug Abacavir can be identified by looking at
patients’ individual immune responses. [T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT -with Damien Carrick. This week: "Odious Debts and
Criminal Debts". Over the weekend there were rock concerts around the
world calling on western governments to forgive loans to developing
countries. But what if the catchcry wasn't 'forgive poor debtors', but
instead, 'punish bad lenders'? And what if those lenders were held
legally accountable for recklessly loaning money to crooked governments
and tyrants – and then expecting ordinary citizens to pay the money
back? [T;%]
Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with Stephen Crittenden. This week: "The Dalai
Lama turns 70; Manicheans in China". A look at the prospects for
Tibetan Buddhists, as the Dalai Lama celebrates his 70th birthday.
Also: modern China may be host to a surviving community of the
Christian church's most serious historical challenger - the Manicheans.

0405 -
Mon.: BIG IDEAS - lectures, conversations, features and special series
from Australia and around the world. This week: "The Massey Lectures
2004: A Short History of Progress: Pyramid Schemes". IRonald Wright
views
civilization as living beyond one's means. The spectacular rise and
fall of Rome in the Old World, and the Maya in the New. Despite these
collapses, the experiment of civilization keeps going in both
hemispheres. The collision of worlds after 1492 leads to the Industrial
Revolution and the modern age. Each time history repeats itself, so
it's said, the price goes up. The 20th century was a time of runaway
growth in human population, consumption, and technology, placing a
colossal load on all natural systems, especially earth, air, and water
-- the very elements of life. The most urgent questions of the 21st
century are: where this growth will lead, whether it can be
consolidated or sustained, and what kind of world our present is
bequeathing to our future. In A Short History of Progress Ronald Wright
argues that our modern predicament is as old as civilization, a
ten-thousand-year experiment we have ridden but seldom controlled. Only
by understanding the patterns of triumph and disaster that humanity has
repeated around the world since the Stone Age can we recognize the
experiment's inherent dangers and, with luck and wisdom, shape its
outcome. The Massey Lectures are the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation's equivalent to the ABC's Boyer Lectures. Established in
1961, they are named in honour of Vincent Massey, former
governor-general of Canada. [T;%]
Tue.: SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "The Story of
Biotechnology". The Science Show, presented by Robyn Williams, is 30
years old next month and to celebrate we’ve been exploring the
archives. We take a look at one of today’s fastest growing industries,
biotechnology, to find out where it comes from and how it is changing
our world. It’s a story full of intrigue, brilliant innovation, panic
and protest – and more than a touch of déjà vu! [T;%]
Wed.: tba
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Russia Under Putin".
Vladimir Putin's
Russia is under stress. Paradoxically, even as he becomes more
autocratic, Putin is deemed by some to be losing control. The shift
from totalitarianism to democracy is difficult – and then there's oil.
Produced by BBC Radio. [T;%]
Fri.: KEYS TO MUSIC - Graham Abbott breaks down the barriers to
enjoying classical music for non-musicians, revealing basic concepts,
discussing composers and exploring pieces of music inside-out. This
week: "Mozart's Musical Joke". Sometimes there's nothing worse than
explaining a joke, but what's so funny about Mozart's Musical Joke
K522? Repeat of a program from 2003. [T;%]
0430 -
Wed.: INNOVATIONS* - A showcase of Australian design, discoveries,
invention, engineering and research skills with Desley Blanch.

endorsement by taking a stand on some very sensitive political issues.
She talks to Terry Lane about asylum seekers, ASIO's powers, the Senate
and the role of liberals in the Liberal Party.

rekindled concern about China's human rights record. China watcher John

and the peculiar role of the Falun Gong [%]
Tue.: AWAYE! - produced and presented by Aboriginal broadcasters and

people with Alzheimer’s disease. As neurons disappear, your cognitive
self gradually takes leave also. This week, the cutting edge of cell
therapies for neurodegenerative disease. Natasha Mitchell reports on
the first gene therapy trial for Alzheimer’s disease. The results are
impressive, groundbreaking even...but the trial asked 8 patients to
weigh up life and death before they agreed to participate. This is
medical research at the coalface. [%]

in art and culture. [abc.net.au/rn/arts/sunmorn/] for details. [%]

sheep shearing competition, where Australia defeated our old foe New
Zealand. The event attracted competitors from 16 countries and more
