First Primates

Dit is onze allereerste vodcast! We gaan in gesprek over de vraag: Moet de overheid tijdens de coronacrisis de luchtvaart steunen? En in de rubriek staan we stil bij de Nationale Zaaidag. Check de shownotes op: milieudefensie.nl/vodcast De vodcast van Milieudefensie biedt kennis en duiding in de gigantische informatiestroom over klimaat en duurzaamheid. In elke aflevering bespreken hosts Laura van Rutten (communicatiemedewerker) en Jorien de Lege (campaigner) wat hen is opgevallen in het nieuws of in de media. En Merel Faasen (vodcast vrijwilliger) gaat op zoek naar sprankjes hoop en inspiratie in haar eigen rubriek.

If you ever thought the periodic table was a boring collection of elements that has nothing to do with your life, this app will show you otherwise. "NOVA Elements" lets you explore an interactive periodic table, build the elements, play a game hosted by The New York Times technology correspondent David Pogue, or watch the two-hour NOVA program, "Hunting the Elements." Find out why the periodic table is shaped the way it is, what gives each element its own unique set of properties, and even how elements combine to make everyday objects such as a cup of coffee. Watch NOVA's "Hunting the Elements" on Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 9pm on PBS. Major funding for "Hunting the Elements" is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Additional funding for "Hunting the Elements" is provided by the Department of Energy and by the Millicent and Eugene Bell Foundation.
