Darwin's Dream

There's a new piece of music theatre inspired by Darwin's theory of evolution premiering at the Darwin Shrewsbury festival this friday.ÌýÌý

Darwin's popularity is growing, and many more events are planned for the bicentennary of his birth in 2009.Ìý To look at how Darwin means something different to each generation, Sue Nelson is joined by Stephen Webster, librettist of Darwin's Dream andÌýJames Moore, historian of science and Darwin's biographer.

Forensic Computing

Recently, a forensic analysis was done on several second hand computers.Ìý It was found that they contained a mass of personal information, including bank account details and passwords.Ìý Given the rise in identity theft, are we making life too easy for criminals?

Ten years ago ago a fraud investigation would involve a week of physical searching through someone's office. These days you are more likely to be searching computer data.

So what is forensic computing?Ìý Sue Nelson talks to Professor of Criminology Martin Gill and Mike Adlem fromÌýrisk consultantsÌýProtiviti, who explain how computers are helping the criminals - but the cops aren't far behind.
