science.tv was founded by Matt Thurling, a digital media pioneer and film-maker based in Bristol, England.
[1] Thurling writes the science.tv blog, where he sets out the vision for the site and invites feedback and suggestions for improvements.
The entire domain was purchased from the islands' residents in 2000 [4] and the suffix is now increasingly being used for sites featuring, or relating to, video content.
The intended audience is broad, ranging from school students to academics and professional programme-makers.
[6] Users are able to navigate for content via site-wide search, tags and by preset categories, which include: physics, chemistry and biology.
