Why science is important!

Alom Shaha is my new hero. Although by day he is an ordinary physics teacher, he apparently is a movie-making superhero by night. He has created a fantastic collection of video interviews to answer the question "Why is science important?". They are available on his site as a 30-minute HD movie, and also on Youtube as a collection of 14 clips.

This interviews explore the many facets of the answer to the question, each of the 14 clips focuses on a particular facet. I anticipate using these in the clip form, to spark discussion about the answer to the subject question, and as an introduction to careers in science for students. Go Alom!
