Episode Six - There's Something About Iran

On this months show we discuss a little-known country called Iran and the nature of their nuclear programme. On our journey of whimsy we discover that mice may well communicate to humans through mobile phones, the Power Rangers may be called upon to face a new threat in Japan, there isn't a weapons-grade nuclear device on the Curiosity rover and the purpose of dodgeball is to avoid dislocating your thumb!

Our guest speakers this month are Craig Morrison and Maureen Haverty!

The track played on this episode was "Computer" by State Shirt from the album This is Old.

Background Radiation Poster

Guest design work by, Mia Frances Kennedy

(Been a bit busy with end of year reports/vivas etc, so this has been neglected for a fair bit. However, here's some awesome artwork to tide you over)

Below is a poster by Mia Kennedy (Blog, Twitter) who is a design student at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. She's the talent behind our logo/avatar (the picture, not the text - she's not a fan of the font we used). The poster is part of her work looking at science communication. Let us know what you think. Data is from the WNA and the coloured bits are scaled to accurately represent each source of background radiation (very xkcd).
