Subject: TechNyou Vids - Science, the scientists and why they do the science

Hi guys

The link below is to our latest video that is part of a series I am making about what gets a scientist out of bed. They will cover the science and why the science is done - ie what is driving the production of this particular piece of knowledge. The videos will also delve into what motivates people to become a scientist and why their particular field of science - ie what gets them out of bed in the morning. I  hope these videos will be useful for you to explore areas of science of interest to students, and give insight into the people doing the science and why they do it

This first video looks at one PhD students research into using nanotechnology to improve the efficiency and affordability of solar energy

Going solar: a PhD's quest for affordable energy
