The University of Nottingham has collaborated with video journalist Brady Haran to pioneer the use of YouTube for communicating actual science to the widest possible audience. The award-winning, hugely successful 鈥淧eriodic Table of Videos鈥� (PTOV), www.periodicvideos.com, has been running for 7 years and has had 118 million hits from viewers in 200 countries. Viewers range from young children to Nobel Prize winners, and the team have received countless messages of support from fans. But what does it take for science communication to be successful and why is it important to all scientists?
