Should Dave Be On TV?
Yago:
In England he is not stand out for his w*nkerdom.
Seems the official line on science is simple "wow" with no actually technical detail or information.
All the science presenters now look like rejects from childrens television, worse too talk the same.
FFS the speed of light or sound should be understood by every child above 8!
Yet every show they explain the same old crap...
"Space is bit, really big"
So I am with you there, but it may be a result of the industry rather than the personality.
So, if I seem him, I am going try talk him into joining EEV, and to PM you GE! :p
aargee:
From what I've seen of Brian Cox, he seems to be eminently knowledgeable in the science he speaks about.
Then again it makes you wonder about the general population when a lot of "adults" seem to think that most scientists speak hokum and are just out to disrupt their way of life with talk of climate change, etc.
Back on topic...
Hey Dave, why don't you insist they use a silhouette/pixelize you and modify your voice so no one can recognise you? :-DD
I think it would be a great idea for you to talk to *anyone*, TV, radio, whatever. The reality is that the chance of it doing you any harm is quite low but the possible benefits to you and the EE/E hobby community are quite large. :-+

I have been involved with the Canadian Discovery Channel's Daily Planet show twice. Both times the crew was good and showed an interest in the science and technology that we were talking about.
One of the times they came, the producer mailed us a DVD with a copy of the episode and a thank you note after it aired.
Also there is a good chance that the focus of the show is electronics in Australia (or whatever else) and they just want a few minutes of footage from the lab.

Interesting. Back in 2005 (or so) the Daily Planet did something with some of my co-workers in the Atacama. I did some work in the Atacama last year. It is a pretty awesome place.
