Last week I went down to Cardiff to film the Eistedfodd where IOP Wales had a stand in the Science and Technology tent. It was my first visit to Cardiff and an Eistedfodd - I was pretty impressed, although the weather was a total let down - meaning many people were walking around soaked through to the skin and wandering around in wellies all day.
Nevertheless we managed to grab a few words with Angharad, the National Officer for Wales, who explained the reasons behind the IOP hosting a stand there. Here's the video:
We're still in the process of getting more videos on the iop.org site to help support any of our news items. Soon we'll be switching to Brightcove for most of our video content making it a lot easier for you to view all of our video content in one place. It will also make it a lot easier for you to embed and forward any of our content too.
IOP Publishing has also just started including video within their online magazines - one of the first to do this was Fibresystems.org. You can check out their interviews and video content here.
As you may know, we're also improving our web-casting facilities at 76 Portland Place, so that in future we will be able to broadcast live any lectures or events that take place. As you can see, the guys are right in the middle of re-wiring both lecture halls with new audio and cameras:
We're hoping that many of the lectures that take place with the London branch will soon be available to all members where ever they are in the world! We'll keep you up to date as things progress!
