All research strategies, practices and methods have their limitations. The most common way of trying to offset these limitations is by using a technique called triangulation.
This film uses real life research studies to illustrate the four key types of triangulation: data, researcher, theoretical, and methodological.
Triangulation is not only a key part of research methodology, it’s also a transferable skill that can be used in the explanation and evaluation of particular research studies Show Less

With a team including a chef, chemist and dietician, this fun and fascinating 2-part series take a closer look at the foods we all love, with some surprising results. Exploring the latest scientific research behind how they are grown, processed or cooked, the series illustrates that understanding how food works can help us eat healthier (and tastier!).
The first episode profiles a variety of one of the world’s most popular fruits, the banana, currently under threat of extinction from a fungal disease. Visiting the scientists cultivating new varieties of disease resistant bananas, it appears that the perfect combination of flavour and texture is within their sights. The traditional craft of fruit preservation is supersized in the production of canned baked beans – and the team uncovers whether or not the process can actually increase the nutritional value of some canned goods. Physics and biology come into play in the science behind cooking the perfect medium-rare steak. A world of cascading chemical reactions is unveiled in a revolutionary new experiment that looks at how to get the flavour and texture of your steak just right. Show Less

Exploring the latest scientific research behind how they are grown, processed or cooked, the series illustrates that understanding how food works can help us eat healthier (and tastier!).
In the second episode, cutting edge science helps us to freeze fish so that they taste almost as good as when fresh. To see how far technology has come, a panel of sashimi lovers are subjected to the ultimate taste test: to see if they can taste the difference between fresh and cryogenically frozen kingfish. The scoop on why humans are hard-wired to desire junk food could be answered by the gelato-making process and a simple, mathematical formula. A specific ratio of carbohydrates, fats and salt can deliver the ‘bliss point’, targeting our brains’ reward system, and releasing the endorphins that makes us feel good. In stunning vineyards, sparkling wine is put under the microscope in the hope that every year will deliver a good vintage, and the chemistry of different hot and spicy foods provides some startling insights. Finally, a better understanding of some unusual crops could see them become the supermarket produce of the future. Show Less

Criminal (or Offender) Profiling is an area that’s currently capturing the public imagination once more in TV shows like Mindhunter and Criminal Minds.
But what’s the reality behind the hype?
This film introduces students to a range of ideas and issues, from defining different types of criminal profiling, through outlining what profilers do to perhaps the most important question of all: Does profiling work?
The film features contributions from leading contemporary UK profilers and psychologists - including Professors David Wilson and Craig Jackson - and uses a number of famous British and American case studies and examine different approaches to Criminal Profiling. Show Less
