Trailblazing The story of the Royal Society is the story of modern science. Our origins lie in a 1660 ‘invisible college’ of natural philosophers and physicians. Today we are the UK’s national science academy and a Fellowship of some 1,600 of the world’s most eminent scientists. Nullius in verba The very first ‘learned society’ meeting on 28 November 1660 followed a lecture at Gresham College by Christopher Wren. The Royal Society's motto 'Nullius in verba' is taken to mean 'take nobody's word for it'. Advancements and adventure The early years of the Society saw revolutionary advancements in the conduct and communication of science. We published Isaac Newton’s Principia Mathematica, and Benjamin Franklin’s kite experiment demonstrating the electrical nature of lightning.

How to read a movie Above: Hitchcock's "Notorious" (1946). Bergman on strong axis. Grant at left. Bergman lighter, Grant shadowed. I've mentioned from time to time the "shot at a time" sessions I do at film festivals and universities, sifting through a film with the help of the audience. This all began for me in about 1969, when I started teaching a film class in the University of Chicago's Fine Arts program. I did. One thing I quickly discovered was that even much smaller audiences can contain someone who can answer any question. Of course you don't simply creep along and talk about what you're looking at. I bought some books that were enormously helpful. I already knew about the painter's "Golden Mean," or the larger concept of the "golden ratio." Now what do I mean by "positive" or "negative?" There are many other rules of thumb. In simplistic terms: Right is more positive, left more negative. Now let me walk you through a single shot from Hitchcock's "Notorious." Now you're on your own.
