(Audio) Interview with Tracey Brown of 'Sense About Science'

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

This may be of interest - particularly for interested non-scientists like me.

Sense About Science's Objectives are:

- To advance the education of the public in any branch of scientific research (including social science) and to disseminate useful information about research.

- To promote social understanding of, and interest in, the creation, presentation and use of scientific research.

In the interview, Brown mainly talks about the relationship between science and the media with MMR vaccination & GM foods used as examples. The mp3 is just over 12 MB big:

It's taken from a new fortnightly radio show I just discovered called 'Little Atoms' who describe their agenda as "Rationalist, Pro-science, Atheist, Humanist and for the progressive Left." They've only got 3 archived interviews up:
