A weekly programme about work in the world of science
' Don't only listen' by A. V. Hill , C.H., F.R.S.
Foulerton Research Professor of the Royal Society
This is the hundredth programme in a series that started at the beginning of 1947. During these years the BBC has given much thought to the problems of broadcasting about science, and has carried out several surveys of listeners' reactions.
Tonight Professor A. V. Hill , who is one of the committee at present considering science broadcasting, talks about-talking about science. Professor Hill regards his talk as an experiment and has given it the provocative title ' Don't only listen ' as a challenge to both listeners and future broadcasters in this series.
