In Love with Betty the Crow: The First 40 Years of ABC RN's the Science Show | Robyn Williams

2 posts | 1 read

Robyn Williams reflects on why science matters, after 40 years of ABC RN's The Science Show. The Science Show with Robyn Williams on Radio National is one of the longest running programs on Australian radio. Scientific issues, debates, events, personalities, exposing scientific fraud, discoveries and broadcasting pranks have been its hallmarks, and the show has given Australians fascinating insights into all manner of things. In this lively account of forty years of The Science Show, Robyn reveals in his inimitable style why science is important - touching on topics like the flakes and the heroes, propaganda, cosmic revolutions, our relationship with animals, women in science, and of course, the environment. Informative, entertaining and memorable, this is a book that is a must read for anyone who is interested in ideas and the truth.

This is the story of 40 years of outstanding science reporting and of Australia's much admired science reporter, Robyn Williams. As a much needed counter to 'alternative facts' and the deliberate dissemination of misinformation by vested interests, the Science Show is in a class of its own. An entertaining read, I chose the audiobook version as it contained many excerpts from the radio program.
