I love TW, i wish they would bring it back like they did Dr.Who.
Forget it. It was always banal and condescending - not a winning
combination.
There's an equally lightweight BBC Radio 4 programme with similar
subject matter called "Science Now". If you really must learn
about science from a lowbrow source, that is probably the one to
listen to. There are science magazines that aim slightly higher
up the intellectual scale, the best known being "New Scientist". It
isn't highly rated by scientists, but appeals to people who
like to follow science but aren't personally involved in it.
I've subscribed to NS for 40 years and consider myself to be a
scientist. NS is not what it was, though never considered as a
"peer reviewed" type of magazine.
I can't remember how many years I have been subscribed to NS
However ...
I'm just not going to renew my subscription
Its become too americanised, and you could hardly call some of the
articles "science" or even engineering
I readily appreciate your comment.
In the last two to three years, the balance has been far too US and
Oz for me. Having said that, there was a period when there was an
excessive amount from Europe mainland.
It could be me but I think that there is insufficient news from the
East.
Yes, but that's Norwich Uni keeping a low profile after those climate
change emails got leaked
