	For twenty years, materials scientists have worked tirelessly to incorporate different levels of functionality into materials.  We are now set to witness the emergence of the next generation of devices for energy harvesting and medical bionic applications,as long as we can figure out how to make them. Research Collaborator, Dr Peter Choong (St Vincents Hospital Orthopeadic Surgeon) - was interviewed on ABC Radio Illawarra (97.3FM) by Nick Rheinberger. He speaks about his work with UOW Researchers in the medical bionics area. Hear the interview. More at - http://www.electromaterials.edu.au/events/UOW114403
	'A Suburnt Country?' Professor Sandra Jones from the Centre for Health Initiatives (CHI) interviewd on ABC Radio Life Matters. The NSW Government's announcement of a ban on solariums has put our relationship with tans in the spotlight. We look at their decision in the broader context of our cultural perceptions around the bronzed Aussie.  Hear the interview on the ABC Radio website or download the audio file.
