In 2009, I presented The Secret Scientists, a three-part series on the BBC World Service, which also covered the topic of Arabic science and its forgotten legacy. You can listen to or download the series by clicking on the pictures to the right.
Here are some links to other radio programmes I have been involved with. Listen again to me talking nuclear physics on the Guardian Unlimited podcast Science Weekly for 23 July 2007 , or discussing the LHC at CERN at Science Weekly for 30 June 2008 .
