This week on Science Weekly presented by Ian Sample, we discuss the Longitude Prize 2014. 3 hundred many years following the 1st prize to learn a way of identifying longitude at sea, a new set of challenges have been shortlisted and thrown open to a public vote to choose the one scientific and technical dilemma that merits the £10m prize fund.
Ian is joined by Guardian on the internet environment editor Adam Vaughan, Observer Tech Month to month commissioning editor Nicola Davis and Dr Emily Grossman, educator, broadcaster and expert in molecular biology.
We also hear from two members of the new Longitude committee, Astronomer Royal Lord Martin Rees and the UK’s Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies, on the scientific issues that could win the prize, and how the public – yes, that means you and me – can establish the nature of that challenge.
The public vote closes at 7.10pm on Wednesday 25 June:
