Subject: BBC ON AIR SCIENCE NETWORK - July 2004 PICK OF THE MONTH: LOVE What is love? Physical, emotional, spiritual, we feel it but do we understand it? Dr Helen Fisher has researched the biology, chemistry and psychology of love extensively, and believes that romantic love is a universal experience that is deeply embedded in the human brain. OTHER HIGHLIGHTS THIS
MONTH <> Broadcast times are listed with the programme details below. These are correct at the time of publication. Full schedules (including those for local stations) and short-wave frequency charts can be found online at http://www.bbcworldservice.com/schedules <> You can hear the programmes live online (at European schedule times), and on demand for seven days after their first broadcast, via the Radio Player link on our home page http://www.bbcworldservice.com *********************************************************************** <> LOVE Love - we sing, write and talk about it. We actively seek it and generally feel much better for it. It can creep up and overcome people when they least expect it or it can be learnt over the years. Most of us experience it, but do we understand it? In four programmes, we look at the course that love
takes through our human existence ? from a newborn baby?s demand for
unconditional love and the starry-eyed love of a teenager to the time when the
physical need for love is overtaken by cherished memories. If you?ve ever felt
it, you?ll know what it is, but many people do wonder if they have ever truly
been in love. Join the anthropologist Dr Helen Fisher and hear a variety of
perspectives from around the world as people talk about their experiences of the
most important human emotion. On 28th July Dr. Fisher will discuss recent brain mapping research to show that romantic love is an instinct. She explains why lovers express such ecstasy, energy, focussed attention and craving to win a particular mating partner. Human romantic love emerged from animal attraction and also other mammals feel attracted to specific partners.
In Augus, Dr Fisher will explain why the brain chemistry of romantic love can trigger sexual desire and examines the biology of how love changes over time. She'll also be looking at how social and economic trends are escalating human drives to find and sustain sexual activity, romantic love and deep attachment in cultures around the world. ***** Programme times (GMT): Australia and NZ | Tue 2306 rpt Wed 0406, 0806, 1206, 1706, Sat 2106, Sun 1006; East Asia | Wed 0206 rpt 0706, 1306, 1906, Sun 0106; South Asia | Tue 2206 rpt Wed 0506, 0906, 1406, Sat 2306, Sun 0506; East and South Africa | Wed 0706 rpt 1306, Thu 0006, Sat 2106, Sun 0706; West Africa | Wed 0906 rpt 1406, Thu 0006, Sun 0906; Middle East | Wed 0706 rpt 1806, Thu 0006, Sun 0606; Europe | Wed 0806 rpt 1206, 1806, Thu 0006, Sun 0906; Americas | Wed 1406 rpt 1906, Thu 0006, 0506, Sun 1006, 1506 *********************************************************************** OTHER PROGRAMMES THIS MONTH <> THE BIG QUESTION - Why Do People
Smoke? It
has been called the most dangerous consumer product in the world, causing the
deaths of 5 million people a year.
The World Health Organisation has warned that by 2020, it will become the
biggest killer of people in the developing world. In the United
States
it's already been classified as addictive as heroine. But over a billion of us
continue to smoke tobacco.
Why? Is it through ignorance of the possible dangers or peer
pressure? Is it because it's
enjoyable or because big tobacco companies encourage people to do it? Emma
Joseph asks July's first 'Big Question'. <> HEALTH MATTERS - Dialogues Barbara Myers strikes up dialogues with significant international figures in the world of health and medicine. From the conversations we find out what motivates them and how their professional and personal lives are intertwined. Barbara's first guest [5th] is Graeme Cunningham, President of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, Canada, and Director of the Homewood Health Centre in Guelph, where he practises addition medicine. He is also a recovering alcoholic. He talks openly to Barbara about his illness and his hope that his openness will allow other doctors with similar problems to come forward and seek treatment.

0106 Manned space missions capture the imagination of politicians and the public alike. A few of them have taken special guests, most recently a fare paying passenger. On 7th July, Jeff asks why it is important for races and nations to have their own astronauts. Is President George W Bush?s call to send people to Mars realistic?
The
image of our planet photographed from space has become an icon of the space age.
The direct benefits of space flights include fast and reliable communications,
multi-channel TV reception and more accurate weather forecasts. But can
investment in space programmes be justified, particularly by poorer nations? On
14th, Jeff considers the role of space exploration and
exploitation in the 21st century.

Almost every country on the planet has the internet and the mobile phone. The world is truly switched on to the digital age. But what does it all mean, what benefits can such technology provide, and who?s in control? Tune in to hear the answers. Each week we speak to leading figures in the computer industry and bring you the technology stories making news where you are. Items planned for this month include a report on the Solomon Islands and how the University of the South Pacific teaches students from across 33 million square kilometres of ocean using a special network. We also hope to bring you a report on a virtual training programme for nurses in Southampton, England, an item on 'smart' homes for the elderly and a celebration of the centenary of the birth of electronics.

One idea is to encourage little plants that float on the surface of oceans ? the phytoplankton ? to take up the greenhouse gas. In theory the phytoplankton should gobble up the carbon dioxide but in practice they don?t. Some years ago it was suggested that a dash of iron would make the plants take up more CO2 and grow faster. Now a team in California has seen that adding bucketfuls of iron sulphate to 15km squares of ocean results in massive blooms of phytoplankton. Despite this success, the lead researcher doubts that iron fertilisation of the oceans could reverse global warming.
