Taking the ISS to the World: Webcasts and Podcasts

Between 1960 and 1979 the ISS lectures were televised in Australia, with audiences estimated at up to 100,000. Many people have told us they recall waking up early on Sundays to catch the telecast, and one School of Physics staff member is adamant that the televised lectures were a key part of her decision to become an astronomer.

Once again, the ISS is using the latest broadcast technology to reach outside the lecture theatres to the world beyond — today's equivalents of the telecasting are webcasting and podcasting, and so the ISS2007 lecture series is available on-line. Also available are the lectures from the ISS2005.

The ISS Book

Each International Science School lecture series is compiled as a book -- professionally designed, edited and bound, the ISS Book is a valuable introduction to the scientific fields covered by that School, and a record of the forefront of research at the time.

Each Scholar receives a copy of the book, as do all presenters and supporters of the ISS. In addition, to expand the reach of the ISS even further, a copy of the book is donated to every high school library in Australia.
