"Tables charting the chemical elements have been around since the 19th century - but this modern version has a short video about each one. We've done all 118 - but our job's not finished. Now we're updating all the videos with new stories, better samples and bigger experiments. Plus we're making films about other areas of chemistry, latest news and occasional adventures away from the lab. We've also started a new series - The Molecular Videos - featuring our favourite molecules and compounds. All these videos are created by video journalist Brady Haran, featuring real working chemists from the University of Nottingham."

The story of St Mary's Cathedral began in 1822 when Fr Philip Connolly built a temporary wooden chapel near the present site of the Cathedral, less than twenty years after European settlement in Tasmania, or Van Diemen's Land as it was then known. The area he chose was, at that time, a considerable distance from the Hobart town boundaries. Fr Connolly was invited to name the street on the western side of the property and he named it Saint Patrick Street in honour of the patron saint of his native Ireland. (This is now Patrick Street.)
