Discovery
Moments of Genius
(audio, 28 minutes)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p007chm9

"From the moment a Dutch draper stared at a drop of pond water, to an experiment that put Einstein to the test.

Do scientists really have moments of genius or is it just a useful fiction? What does it take to be a science genius?

Geoff Watts and guest Patricia Fara enjoy and discuss moments of genius chosen, by among others, mathematician Marcus du Sautoy, writer Eoin Colfer, Professor Lord Winston, broadcaster Carol Vorderman and comedian Ben Miller."


(I enjoyed this programme. If you are interested in historical aspects of science, you might like it too.)
