Hi, I'm Polly and am a science communication student.

I would be grateful if anyone who is involved in sci-art can contact me about their art, its implications, aspirations, history and how it was inspired.

I am currently doing research in this area and hope to create a website on this area soon- initially as a blog.

I feel that we need a greater awareness of science in our lives and that sci-art is a great way to communicate science.

Having been preoccupied with other things lately I have just had a chance to look at last weeks news and realsied that sadly Stanislaw Lem died on Tuesday (28 March).

A truly amazing man, and he had a wonderful "innings" aged 84 when he died. Solaris is a fantasitic book. I've read a little bit about Lem and I find his concepts fascinating. Definitely one of modern histories great scientist/philosophers/authors, and perhaps one of the few people who are so at ease with both art and science.

A coroner today finally announced that the Documentary filmmaker James Miller was indeed 'murdered' by an Israeli soldier.

Carrying a white flag and journalist insignia, James Miller was shot in the front of the neck (despite claims that he was caught in cross fire and shot in the back) while making a documentary in May 2003 in the Rafah refugee camp about Palestinian children caught up in fighting with Israel.

The last couple of evenings have been rather disorientating for me thanks to the seeming sudden change in seasons which we've had here in the UK. Of course its partly due to the clocks going forward but its so weird for it to still be light at 7pm. Nice anyway. It was only a couple of weeks ago that we were wondering if there would be any light at the end of the long tunnel which is winter in UK.

The Take Away Festival in the Node London context once more showed up, how closely software development, media and arts are connected to each other.

For many people, at the first glance, there may not seem to be an intermediate connection between those industries - particularly not between software development and arts.

The VHS tape is officially dead according to UK audio-visual retailers. Although they will not be available from commercial outlets VHS will probably be around for a while because at present there is no more reliable or cheaper method of recording from TV. Technologies like DVD and sky plus are good but expensive. But does anyone watch television anyway. I know I don't. If there's anything which I hate with a passion at the moment, it is British TV.
