Deal All, Like many others, I also would like to encourage to listen the “In Our Time” BBC Radio 4 program next week as part of the Bragg Centenary Celebration.
Melvyn will have Prof Mike Glazer (Oxford), Dr Chris Hammond (Leeds) and Prof Judith Howard (Durham) as guests. A subject not to be missed to those who like to called of crystallographers.

Bragg is the chancellor of Leeds university so it all fits rather well!

I caught the end of this morning's program on the Borgias. After hearing about murder, nepotism and incest, it was a bit disorientating to hear Melvyn announce crystallography as the next subject :) m -----Original Message----- From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] On Behalf Of Peter Keller Sent: 22 November 2012 13:52 To: ccp4bb Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Crystallography on BBC Radio 4 next week Dear all, I have had several queries about this off-list, so here are some clarifications. I don't know if Melvyn Bragg is related to WL and WH Bragg. I doubt it, but if he is maybe he will say. (Bragg is a fairly common name in English.) The normal subject matter of "In Our Time" is humanities-based (i.e. art, history, philosophy etc.), but they deal with scientific or mathematical subjects occasionally. There are two live broadcasts, at 09:00 and 21:30 UK time. The later one is a shortened version (edited from about 42 mins to about 28), so better to listen to the earlier one if you can. There are three options for listening other than the terrestrial radio broadcast. All should work outside the UK (restrictions on using the BBC iPlayer overseas mostly apply only to television, or on the radio to certain special broadcasts such as some sporting events). (i) Live on the internet at the times above: go to the programme page at <http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p0s9s> and click on the "LISTEN" icon (with a picture of a small loudspeaker) towards the upper right of the page. (ii) Using iPlayer after the second broadcast has finished. Go to the programme page at <http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p0s9s> and click on the "Listen now" button on the left of the picture illustrating the programme. In principle this should become available within a few minutes of the end of the second broadcast (i.e. soon after 22:00 UK time), but sometimes there is a longer delay of up to an hour. It won't expire, so you can always listen on another day. (iii) Download a podcast in mp3 format from <http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iot>. This will become available sometime after the second broadcast has finished, but it could be a day or two afterwards. These podcasts also don't expire or disappear: you can download them years after the original broadcasts. Options (ii) and (iii) will get you the full rather than the shortened version of the programme. Regards, Peter.

The link to the program is <http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p0s9s>. Unfortunately, it doesn't say who the guests are, but they usually manage to find people with something interesting to say, even if the presenter Melvyn Bragg's grasp of scientific material isn't always that great. I think that from outside the UK it is possible to listen live from the link above, and that a day or two after the broadcast a podcast will be available to download from <http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iot>.
