Arts Wednesday 22 August 2018

At 10:40 am, Geraint Lewis joins us for Part 2 of the Science of Science Fiction and this week’s episode is the Science of Space Travel.

My special guest at 11:00 am is Dr Karen Sommerville, who heads up a research team at the Herbarium at our Royal Botanic Gardens, trying to establish a seed bank from rainforest plants in danger of extinction. Find out what a seed bank is, how seeds are prepared and then stored in the bank.

Music this week pays tribute to Leonard Bernstein, one of the towering musical figures of the teen teeth century, whose 100th birthday falls this weekend, 25 August.

Please join me.
