Ereaders, Digital Waste and the Spaceguard Centre
On the programme this week, Kris Sangani talks to Rhys about e-readers being the most popular gadget given at Christmas and a new scheme set up to handle electrical and electronic waste products. Our STEM Ambassador of the Week is Karen Reed from the School of Biosciences at Cardiff University. Later on, Rhys talks to Jay Tate from Spaceguard UK about the risk of near earth object collisions and what the Spaceguard centre is doing to prevent it. Finally, this week’s Subject of Science looks at Alfred Russell Wallace.
