X-Message-Number: 22149 From: "John de Rivaz" <> Subject: the future of basic research Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 11:08:32 +0100 With regards to recent discussion on CryoNet about the future of basic research, this may be of interest:: Furturelabs ---------------- These programmes tell the remarkable stories of the small groups of research scientists whose inventions in the fields of communications and computing, transport, materials and medicine, changed the world and gave us the modern technologies we enjoy today. Each programme looks at the 'glory days' of the lab and then brings the story up to date, ***paying particular attention to how science is managed in these much more commercially competitive days***. More, and a chance to listen on line for free, goto: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/futurelabs.shtml -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz: http://John.deRivaz.com for websites including Cryonics Europe, Longevity Report, The Venturists, Porthtowan, Alec Harley Reeves - inventor, Arthur Bowker - potter, de Rivaz genealogy, Nomad .. and more Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=22149
