Humanism Intro Part 1 - 'Humanism'

Humanism is sometimes mistaken for a form of religion, or something which is very complex. Here, some well known humanists explain that all humanism really is, is people wanting to live ethical and happy lives, thinking for themselves, without religion imposing its own morals on them which are not necessarily compatible with living ethically today. Including interviews with: Richard Dawkins, A C Grayling, Tim Minchin, Andrew Copson, Polly Toynbee, Rumi Hassan, Philip Pullman, & Zoe Margolis.

Thank You God - Tim Minchin

Tim: "For some time I've been keeping certain tunes off t'internet in order to ensure audiences of my live shows get a few surprises. I like surprises. However, as an Easter gift I'm putting the Tim Minchin and the Heritage Orchestra version of "Thank You God" up on the YouTubular for y'all to enjoy. I do hope you do.

The Story of You: ENCODE and the human genome

Ever since a monk called Mendel started breeding pea plants we've been learning about our genomes. In 1953, Watson, Crick and Franklin described the structure of the molecule that makes up our genomes: the DNA double helix. Then, in 2001, scientists wrote down the entire 3-billion letter code contained in the average human genome.



Now they're trying to interpret that code; to work out how it's used to make different types of cells and different people. The ENCODE project, as it's called, is the latest chapter in the story of you.
