Dr Chris Smith BSc MB BChir PhD FRCPath - "the Naked Scientist" - is a consultant virologist and a lecturer based at Cambridge University where he is a fellow of Queens' College. He is also a science radio broadcaster and writer, and presents ''the Naked Scientists'', a programme which he founded in 2001, for BBC Radio and other networks internationally, as well as ''5 live Science'' on BBC Radio 5 Live. In addition to the Naked Scientists, he appears live every Friday morning on Australia's ABC Radio National Breakfast with Fran Kelly, supplying an update of the week's leading science news. He is also a contributor to Robyn Williams' ''The Science Show'' on the same station, and also appears on Johannesburg-based South African station TalkRadio 702 for thirty minutes every Friday morning with a half hour science news round up and listener question phone-in. Radio New Zealand National's ''This Way Up'' show, hosted by journalist Simon Morton on Saturdays, also includes a ''Naked Science'' contribution from Chris, and since 2013 BBC Radio Norfolk have been running a Naked Scientists Wednesday teatime science phone-in as part of their Drive Time offering. Until May 2014, Smith provided a weekly 25 minute science round up for BBC Radio 5 Live's ''Up All Night'' programme every Monday. This was replaced by the new weekly one hour ''5 live Science'' programme, which is also produced by Smith and his colleagues and airs on Saturday mornings and is repeated on a Sunday evening. Smith also founded and presented the first 100 episodes of the ''Nature Podcast'' for the journal ''Nature'' in 2005. This show was the first example of an international science journal producing an audio programme to supplement its printed content. He has also contributed podcast content for the open access publishing group PLoS (Public Library of Science), he hosts the Royal Society of Chemistry's "Chemistry World" Podcast and, in 2013, launched and hosts the monthly ''eLife Podcast'' for the open access online journal eLife. ==Naked Scientists Podcast== ''The Naked Scientists'' is now one of the world's most downloaded science podcasts. Launched by Smith in 2005, it was also the first example of a BBC local and regional programme to be published as a podcast; within its first twelve months it received 2 million programme downloads. In January 2010, Smith's ''The Naked Scientists'' group announced on Twitter that, just ahead of the 10th anniversary of the project's launch, the number of downloaded programme episodes had hit 10 million internationally. At a presentation at the 2011 AAAS Meeting in Washington DC, Smith showed that, by February 2011, over 17 million episodes of the Naked Scientists podcast had been downloaded globally. More recently, during a 2014 visit to Perth, Western Australia, where Smith holds a Sir Walter Murdoch Distinguished Adjunct Professorship at Murdoch University, he announced that the number of downloads exceeds 40 million. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chris Smith (doctor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
