The Pulse Project

Colin Murphy is a man who loves lectures. So much so in fact, that he has written of his 'dismay' of not having enough time to attend all the lectures going on in Oxford whilst he lived there as a student.

Four years ago Murphy came up with a solution to his vexation - a website; one which would offer video recordings of many of interesting lectures for those not lucky enough to attend. The site has grown however, and these days also known for its series of excellent weekly podcasts dealing with how science impacts on - and is shaped by - society.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.
