---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Caroline Christie" <[log in to unmask]> Date: 16 Feb 2017 16:50 Subject: [PSCI-COM] Call out: Science communicators needed for new radio series To: <[log in to unmask]> Cc: Hello, I’m a producer working on a new feature radio series for Little Atoms <http://littleatoms.com/> and NTS <http://www.nts.live/> on the relationship between science and culture, from the 19th century to the present day. I’m looking for science communicators and researchers with a knowledge of the following areas: 1. The story of biologist Ronald Ross and the classicist W.H.S. Jone, and their hypothesis that malaria was the reason for the decline of the ancient Greeks 2. How the rise of anaesthesia and analgesics in the mid 19th-century revolutionised surgery; from RL Stevenson explored the possibilities in Jekyll and Hyde; while George Du Maurier delved into mesmerism and mind control in Trilby. 3. The rise of reconstructive surgery in the aftermath of WWI and its impact on literature 4. The influence of antidepressants in the 1960s 5. Globalisation and human futures – the modern day preoccupation with infectious diseases in the arts 6. Transhumanism in the creative industries If anyone has researched/written about these subjects please get in touch. Many thanks, Caroline Christie Assistant Editor *Little Atoms* Unit 7 Acorn Production Centre, 103 - 105 Blundell Street, N7 9BN 02034112892 07545 294 283 ********************************************************************** psci-com how-to: Once subscribed, send emails for the list to [log in to unmask] If not subscribed, either subscribe here https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=psci-com or send requests for items to be posted on your behalf to [log in to unmask] To unsubscribe (or silence messages while away) send an email (any subject) to [log in to unmask] with one of the following messages (ignoring text in brackets) • signoff psci-com (to leave the list) • set psci-com nomail (to stop receiving messages while on holiday) • set psci-com mail (to resume getting messages) Contact list owner at [log in to unmask] Small print and JISCMail acceptable use policy https://sites.google.com/site/ pscicomjiscmail/the-small-print **********************************************************************
