King Henry the VIII is chiefly associated with gluttony, lechery and murder. Surprisingly, it turns out he was also a deeply sensitive soul, who liked to express himself by penning his own musical compositions. Even more surprisingly, he was rather good at it. Love, longing, desire and passion; this is Henry as you've never heard him before. In this audio slideshow you can hear a selection of this stunning early music, sung by the group Alamire, to mark the 500th anniversary of Henry's coronation. Reporter Fred Dove spoke to David Skinner, Alamire's director and Director of Music at Sidney Sussex College, University of Cambridge, about Henry's juicy musical legacy.

Cell biology and evolutionary medicine. Professor Sir Paul Nurse (Rockefeller University, New York, USA). Summary: Darwins ideas of the tree of life and natural selection continue to inform medicine and biomedical research. For example, the single tree of life means that model organisms from bacteria to mice can be recruited to better understand human health and disease, whilst natural selection is applicable to the immune system and to cancer.

chicago, The importance of trees: recent progress with understanding the history of plant life
Professor Sir Peter Crane (University of Chicago, Illinois, USA)
Summary: Much was learnt about plant evolution in the first 100 years following On the Origin of Species, but progress in recent decades has been equally rapid, especially with new approaches to develop and test different kinds of evolutionary trees that model the specific pathways of plant evolution. Such trees provide a basis for understanding how the major groups of living and fossil plants are interrelated, and in turn, this has opened up possibilities for research in many new areas. In this lecture, I will review our current understanding of the origin and early diversification of land plants, vascular plants, seed plants and flowering plants. In all four cases, many questions remain to be answered, but improved insights have come, most reliably, by integrating information from living and fossil plants towards the development of increasingly robust phylogenetic and stratigraphic patterns. Among living plants, the widespread application of phylogenetic techniques based on molecular sequence data, together with new studies of plant structure, function and development, have been especially influential. Among fossil plants, new perspectives continue to come from studies of recently discovered and classic localities, as well as from information obtained through the application of new techniques.

The future for the environment on planet Earth
Professor Sir Brian Hoskins (Imperial College London and University of Reading, UK)
Abstract: The activity of humans has led, over time, to local and regional changes in their environment. However, in the latter part of the twentieth century, their impact on the global environment became apparent with the appearance of the stratospheric ozone hole and the increasing evidence for global warming. In this talk, the current status of global environmental problems will be assessed and the outlook for the rest of the twenty-first century and beyond will be discussed.
