The Material World

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

"Beauty is truth," wrote Keats. But when it comes to the scientific image, it may be more a case of beauty or truth.

Quentin Cooper talks to the people behind Britain's Visions of Science Awards about the pros and cons of creating and editing a scientific image. Producer Julian Siddle
