Science in schools `remains elitist` Boring lessons, geeky stereotypes and poor careers advice have turned many pupils off science. That has to change, says science minister Lord Drayson, as a new children's science education centre opens in LondonBlue Peter presenter Helen Skelton assumed her cousin Kate's job was boring. Kate was a scientist, after all.

NPRAn orchestra of lost instruments Get ready to hear the sound of an epigonion, a phormix, an aulos and a bit of driving barbitonAn orchestra of ancient instruments, many of which exist only in paintings and yellowing manuscripts, will perform its first concert at the end of the year.Many of the instruments have not been heard since the times of Socrates in the fifth century BC, though some of the instruments date back even further, to the bronze age a thousand years earlier.Scientists are reconstructing the sounds of the instruments, including the earliest predecessors of the bass guitar, harp and oboe, by building mathematical models of them on computers, using descriptions in ancient texts and paintings on artefacts recovered from archaeological sites in Greece.Researchers on the project have already recreated the sound of an instrument called the epigonion, the earliest form of harp, which was commonly played in Greece around 430BC.
