An Audience with Sir Bernard Lovell
In several rare events, the Founder and First Director of Jodrell Bank Observatory - Sir Bernard Lovell - talked with Dr Tim O'Brien of Jodrell Bank about his life and work, including the creation of the giant radio telescope at Jodrell Bank which now bears his name. A unique reflection on the development of radio astronomy from its earliest days on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the iconic Lovell Telescope and the dawn of the Space Age.
The first interview was on the 4th August 2007 at Jodrell Bank, while the second was given at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester as part of the Manchester Science Festival on the evening of the 25th October 2007.
You can listen to a recording of the August 2007 interview on The Jodcast. It is in three parts:
