The much-anticipated Bloggingheads.tv faceoff between George Johnson and myself is now available. We talk about string theory, religion, love, the anthropic principle, and plates. After this, any further episodes might just be superfluous.

BBC iPlayer - formerly known as iMP (Integrated Media Player or Interactive Media Player) and MyBBCPlayer is a computer program being developed by the BBC to extend its existing RealPlayer-based "Radio Player" and other streamed content. The service, which has been under development since 2003, incorporates a media player, an electronic programme guide (EPG) and specially designed download client, and will allow the download of both TV and radio content by UK-based Internet users, for use up to 7 days after broadcast.

Athenaweb a portal for audiovisual information on science is launched by the European Commission
The European Commission, in association with a number of professional media and science organisations, is launching an innovative web portal designed for audiovisual and scientific communities in Europe, to support their work in promoting and communicating about science. Functions of this new platform include an electronic library of science programmes, an online agenda of key events, a European science news service and a forum for co-productions and partnerships.

A virtual home for science communicators
Launched in the spring of 2005, AthenaWeb is a video portal and workspace for European audiovisual communication professionals in the areas of science and scientific information. Contributors and users of the service include institutions, universities, labs, corporations, not-for-profit organisations, and of course the television and film industry (broadcaster, journalists, documentary makers, producers, people who commission TV programming, etc.).

HiRISE Image Targeting Challenge
Scientists have argued for water on Mars since the first Viking images of Mars were returned nearly 30 years ago.  Since then, Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey have collected more images; now the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) is using a camera attached to a very powerful telescope to look down on the surface of Mars.

Students were recently challenged to help choose regions of Mars to photograph. Nine selected areas have been imaged.
Participating students represent the first people on Earth to see the resulting images. Students were challenged to search for signs of water in the images and then submit their observations for publication on the Web site.

Final results: Experts will evaluate your submissions.
Join the Webcast on Wednesday -- Video streaming will begin 10 minutes before the webcast. Or place your questions in the chatroom early -- and return to see the archive soon after the show.

    Time Zones:
    10:00 a.m Pacific Daylight Time
    1:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time
    1700 GMT/Zulu

ESApod audio programme
On the afternoon of 14 January 2005, the European Space Agency probe Huygens made a stunning descent through Titan's 1300-km-thick atmosphere.   Titan, a moon of Saturn, was then some 1.4 thousand million km from the Earth. Obviously no human viewed the descent first-hand, yet reconstructing and modelling the precise wind-blown trajectory that Huygens took to reach the surface is crucial to correlating and synthesizing all data transmitted from Huygens' six instrument packages. This week, scientists from the Descent Trajectory Working Group will present their latest results at the 42nd Cassini-Huygens Project Science Group Meeting in Athens, Greece. ESAPod interview with Dr Bobby Kazeminejad.

ESApod audio programme
Since Huygens' January 2005 descent to Titan's surface, scientists have gained a new understanding of the Saturn moon's complex, 1300-km-thick atmosphere. Some of the most intriguing data returned by the HASI, or Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument, point to the possible existence of an electrical resonance effect, called Schumann resonance, on Titan. If confirmed, this would be the first such electrical field resonance seen outside our own planet. The effect may help scientists confirm whether an ocean of liquid water mixed with ammonia lies beneath Titan's surface. This week, scientists will present their latest results at the 42nd Cassini-Huygens Project Science Group Meeting in Athens, Greece. ESAPod interview with Dr Fernando Simoes.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist who doesn't believe in planets. Of course he knows that there are large objects circling the Sun. He just doesn't believe that picking out nine of them -- or eight, now that Pluto has been demoted -- has any scientific basis. There are far more interesting ways of dividing up the universe. For example, there are four bodies in our solar system that have atmospheres -- three planets and one moon of Saturn -- and having an atmosphere is far more interesting scientifically than simply being a big object because having an atmosphere raises lots of questions and possibilities.

This week's Edmonton Friday Review examines new evidence on the why the T-Rex had such bone-crushing strength in its jaws, a new device for separating molecules. Unfortunately the program is marred by a concert by the `legendary` bluesman Dave "Honeyboy" Edwards.

NASA has launched a new video podcast, NASA EDGE, that provides an offbeat, funny and informative look in and around the nation's aerospace program. Whether it is the latest launch, the coolest gadgets, or developments in science and technology, the hosts of NASA EDGE give an unscripted and unpredictable perspective. NASA released the newest episode of this video podcast, or vodcast, on Thursday.
Chris Giersch and Blair Allen host, with Franklin Fitzgerald as its news anchor. In the latest episode, Giersch and NASA scientists Dr. Nicky Fox and Troy Cline join forces to educate Allen about the importance of understanding space weather.
