SciCast Notes:
This is great!
Now, I don’t know about you, but my heart always sinks a little when I see another ‘news’ approach. We’ve lots of them, all over SciCast. However, I don’t mind in the least when the film is clear, clever, and has just a smidge of silliness. This is a very artfully put-together piece, that must have involved heaps of planning and very careful attention to detail. The explanations are clear, the demonstrations inventive, and it doesn’t feel rushed despite using every second of the available time.
Top stuff.
