How does the weather affect our lives? Will robots steal our jobs? Is science making us healthier? What is going on in a new baby's brain? Just some of the questions that will feature on the biggest Science Week on RT to date, with a diverse range of science and technology-themed content across television, radio, online and mobile from 13th - 19th November.
Science Week on RT , presented with the support of Science Foundation Ireland, will span factual, news, weather and lifestyle programming. Standout elements include a three-day live television event (Weather Live), themed content across RT Player, bespoke video clips featuring experiments with some well-known faces and voices, and a wealth of thought-provoking, longer form pieces written by science experts on rte.ie/brainstorm. All of this, and more, is available at your fingertips at www.rte.ie/scienceweek.
Colm O'Callaghan, Ceannasa Cl racha Gaeilge, Education and Science, RT , said, "RT consistently places science-themed content at the very centre of its schedules and seeks to engage its audiences through informative, entertaining, thought-provoking and relevant programming. Science and technology plays an increasingly pivotal role in our everyday lives and it's important that we put that under the microscope and help our audiences explore and understand the world around us. I believe that the programme we have put together, with Science Foundation Ireland, BAI and other partners, for Science Week, 2017 will generate a strong reaction from our audiences".
