SCIENCE OF WINE

As part of an initiative to use wine as a vehicle for communicating science to the public, Lloyd Davis, the Stuart Professor of Science Communication at the University of Otago's Centre for Science Communication has begun a website called the Science of Wine (www.scienceofwine.com).

Contributions are invited on any topic that either:

(i) uses aspects of viticulture, wine, or winemaking to communicate about science generally (e.g. climate change, photosynthesis, geology, geography, etc), or

(ii) communicates something of the science behind viticulture, wine or winemaking.

The primary concern is that the articles should be written in a style that makes them appealing and understandable to a general member of the public who is interested in wine but does not have any speacilaist knowledge.

Contributions may be of any length, although the ideal length is somewhere between 400 and 800 words.

Ideally, contributions will have accompanying illustrative material (although this is not absolutely necessary as we can source appropriate illustrations). Any such illustrative material must be free of copyright or have a Creative Commons License that requires attribution. Photos should be submitted as jpegs (with a minimum dimension on their longest side of 2048 pixels).

All accepted articles will include full attribution for the author.

So please - submit something - become a published author and help promote wine and science to the public.

Please email any contributions to Lloyd Davis as an electronic attachment (MS Word files, rtf, or Apple Pages are acceptable formats) to:

[email protected]

Thank you for your help and involvement

For those of you with your "nose in the books" this week....a little aroma chemistry to consider....

Walk into a used bookshop and you will encounter the unique aroma of aging books. The smell is loved by some, disliked by others, but where does it come from...
