''The Naked Scientists'' is a one-hour audience-interactive science radio talk show broadcast live by the BBC in the East of England, nationally by BBC Radio 5 Live and internationally on ABC Radio National, Australia; it is also distributed globally as a podcast. The programme was created and is edited by Cambridge University consultant virologist Dr Chris Smith. The present ''Naked Scientists'' line up also includes science broadcaster and harpist Kat Arney and producers Howard Benson, Graihagh Jackson, Ginny Smith and Georgia Mills. In 2009 the group appointed the first official ''Naked Scientists'' PhD student, Diana O'Carroll, to examine the educational impacts of science broadcasting and new media. O'Carroll also set up a ''Naked Scientists'' spin-off podcast, ''Naked Archaeology'', which launched in 2008. A second spin-off, ''Naked Astronomy'', featuring Cambridge University-based space scientists and astronomers, has been podcast since December 2009 and is currently hosting the Space Boffins prodcast, produced by journalists Richard Hollingham and Sue Nelson. A combined video and audio programme, ''Naked Engineering'', produced by Ansell and Senthilingam and supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering, launched in September 2010. For Christmas 2010 the group also showcased a new video podcast strand, the ''Naked Science Scrapbook''. In 2012, a Naked Neuroscience strand was unveiled, and in 2013 the Material Chef video series, showcasing materials science, was launched. ==''Naked Scientists'' show content== Each episode of the main ''Naked Scientists'' programme is one hour long and includes a digest of topical science news stories, audience questions answered live on the air and interviews with guest scientists. These individuals join the hosts in the studio to talk about their work and to take questions live from listeners. Previous featured guests include the discoverer of the DNA fingerprint, Alec Jeffreys, the Astronomer Royal Sir Martin Rees, and the co-discoverer of DNA structure, James D. Watson. The show also features on-location reports and interviews, and an ad-hoc interactive segment called ''Kitchen Science'' where listeners are encouraged to attempt a science experiment at home during the show. Kitchen Science experiments have included building a desktop trebuchet, a chocolate teapot and a Liver powered Bottle Rocket. The Kitchen Science segment also hosts experiments that listeners may not be able to do at home, such as generating X-rays from Sticky Tape with Dr Carlos Camara of UCLA and testing how much fat would stop a bullet with researchers at Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory. 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「The Naked Scientists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
