Einstein@Home on German TV
Submitted on 16 Aug 2013 5:16:51 UTC
Das Wissenschaftsmagazin nano auf 3sat berichtete in seiner Sendung vom 15. August über die kürzlich veröffentlichte Einstein@Home-Anwendung für Android-Geräte. Bei einem Besuch des Albert-Einstein-Instituts in Hannover erhielt das Fernsehteam einen Blick hinter die Kulissen von Einstein@Home. In Interviews berichten die Wissenschaftler und Entwickler über die Suche nach neuen Pulsaren, warum sie Einstein@Home für Android-Geräten bereit stellen, und wie sie mit Gravitationswellen ein neues Fenster zum All öffnen wollen.

Einstein@Home on German TV

Good one guys!! You can even follow the story with all the nice graphics, without knowledge of the German language ... :-)
Cheers, Mike.

Great! Maybe it increases the amount of volunteers ;) Would be nice to know if there was some measureable effect.

The Science Magazine reported in its nano on sat broadcast on August about the recently published Einstein@Home application for Android devices. During a visit to the Albert Einstein Institute in Hannover, the TV crew got a look behind the scenes of Einstein@Home. In these interviews, the researchers and developers report on the search for new pulsars, why they made Einstein@Home available for Android devices and how they want to open a new window to the universe with gravitational waves.

I'm glad to look again at those places (and faces of cause) where I've been 2 years ago. Would be glad to travel there someday again.

You can get a very good idea from the various stats sites - e.g. see the "new users per day" graph on this page from BOINCstats.
Interesting to see there was a large increease in new users per day in late July - is that the Android release? Though there doesn't seem to a concomitant increase in daily credit.

Google translator is far from perfect. Even worse than my English. Especially the first Sentence was crippled by google.
So, I'll try to make it better:
On the German TV Channel 3sat (Actually it is a tri-national TV Program in cooperation of the German, Swiss and French national TV broadcast companies) there was a report in the TV science emission "nano" in august,
about the recently published Einstein@Home app for Android devices. During a visit to the Albert Einstein Institute in Hannover, the TV crew got a look behind the scenes of Einstein@Home. In interviews, the scientists and developers told about the search for new pulsars, why they made Einstein@Home available for Android devices and how they want to open a new window to the universe trough gravitational waves.
RE: On the German TV

Not bad. Except for 3Sat being a cooperation between German, Swiss and Austrian TV institutions (this got probably mixed up with "arte", a German - French cooperation, where "nano" might be broadcasted, too).

Ha, nice to see the office and some of the people who work. Tankx.

FWIW the locations are:
- Bruce Allen is shown in his office and in the Atlas cluster rooms in the basement
- Benjamin Knispel (when shown alone): GEO600 "Control room" and outside
- Joachim Fritzsch is shown in what's actually Benjamins office, Joachim is normally working in Dresden
- Near the end (6:12) you see Harald Lück (uncredited) sitting at the GEO600 "Bridge", a smaller version of the "Control room" located right above the detector core

I guess he's always too busy beaming people up :D
Nice work guys, it's surprisingly good for a TV production!
