What has more people than a netball team but fewer than a cricket team? The nine authors of "Sustainable Language Support Practices in Science Education"! The book was launched at the ANU Co-op Bookshop on Wednesday 14 December 2011. Three of the authors, Brett Lidbury, ALice Richardson and Felicia Zhang were joined there by the writer of the boook's foreword, Trevor Anderson of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Anecdotes of the inception of the book were shared, and the importance of its content to universities and secondary schools was expounded. We thoroughly recommend it!

I've been watching some excellent BBC documentaries about maths and stats recently, including

The Joy of Stats, a one-hour general show presented by Hans Rosling.

The Story of Mathematics, 4 one-hour history shows presented by Marcus du Sautoy.

Here's a really cool-sounding project, that I read about in the newsletter of the Royal Statistical Society. Mathematics to the Limit is the working title of a proposaed museum / exploratorium of mathematics in the UK. An initial fund-raising event is planned for 26 January in London involving Marcus du Sautoy, Chris Budd and Charles Clarke. Contact Margaret Brown (margaret.brown@ kcl.ac.uk). I hope it is very successful!
