Part 1
Hello, everyone, and welcome to this year's award ceremony for the Antonia Watson Memorial Poetry Award.
As with previous years, the competition has been particularly fierce and we have received numerous excellent
entries, so it's an incredible achievement for our three finalists who are sitting here amongst you, and we
should congratulate them all. However, as with every competition, there can unfortunately only be one
winner, and we will be announcing them shortly. Before we do, though, a few words about the award itself.
As most of you know, the Antonia Watson Memorial Poetry Award has been presented annually since 2010,
and was presented biannually for two more competitions prior, once in 2008 and once in 2006. It is entirely
funded by Antonia Watson's very generous parents, who offer £1,500 to the author of the best poem on a topic
announced at each previous award ceremony, as well as £500 to the first runner-up and £250 to the second,
bringing the total up to £2,250.
Now, a few words on Antonia Watson herself, without whom none of us would be standing here today. I
briefly knew Antonia while at university, where we were flat mates for a year, and I'm afraid that any speech I
give will not be able to do her justice, as she was the kindest, sweetest person I've ever met. Thankfully, this
part of my speech was written with the assistance of one of her siblings, Thomas Watson, who was not only
her brother, but also her best friend.
Antonia was born in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, in December 1986. From a very young age, she displayed an
inquisitive and creative nature, matched in volume only by the gentle kindness of her spirit. She wrote her first
poem, named "Love Barks", about the death of her dog, at the age of ten. This was also her first poem to be
published at her school's newspaper-just two months after another of her poems, "Be Kind", won the 1996
Triad Children's Writing Competition and was published in the competition's anthology. While her early
forays into poetry were crowned with impressive success, Antonia unfortunately ceased to write for a few
years following the death of her very dear grandfather, Peter William Watson in 1999.

Part 2

Hey, Jess, glad you could make it, we've got a lot to discuss.
Hi Matt, yes, sorry I'm a bit late, I did bring all my notes with me.
Yes, me too. Where shall we start?
Well, I think it would be a good idea to clarify our objectives just one more time.
Yes, Good idea......OK, here we are....we need to record. Photograph and identify the plant species in ten, one
square meter plots.
Does it say anything about where these plots should be and how they should be laid out?
ah.....here it is. It says that all the plots need to be no more than 10 metres apart......
and how do we choose them?
Ah, this is the fun bit. I remember this......here we are "Make a
one meter square fame, using bamboo sticks available from the department stores"....
Yes,....we've already done that...
I know, I'm just reading the whole section.
OK
...One person stands roughly in the middle of the chosen are and throws the fame. The other person uses a tap
to mark out the square where the fame landed and returns fame to thrower. The thrower then turns a few
degrees on the spot and throws again. The thrower must turn slightly after each throw and vary the force of
the throw until after the 10t throw they are pointing in almost the same direction as the first."
That sounds a bit complicated.
That's only because it's all in writing. It's just a simple throw, turn, throw, turn, throw turn until we have 10
squares.
And I guess you want to do the throwing......
Well if you don't mind. I'm sure you'll be more accurate at marking the squares.
Yes, I'm sure I am and I'm sure you've got a stronger throwing arm!

Part 3
Presenter: Hello everyone, and welcome to Animal Matters, your weekly dose of nature news. With us in
the studio today is Rupert Clarkson, a spokesman and researcher from Dolphin House, a local dolphin
conservation organisation. Welcome to the show, Rupert!

Rupert: Thanks for having me, Will.

Presenter: Rupert, my first question is: why are we so fascinated with dolphins?

Rupert: Dolphins are extremely intelligent creatures, Well, and we tend to perceive them as being playful and
friendly. People get a great deal of enjoyment out of interacting with dolphins – we seem to feel a strong
connection with them.

Presenter: Which brings me to my next question: there are numerous travel companies out there offering
people the chance to swim with dolphins in exotic locations. By all accounts, it’s becoming an increasingly
popular activity. What I’d like to know is what are the benefits of swimming with dolphins?

Rupert: Well, research has shown that when people swim with dolphins, they feel deeply relaxed and joyful.
Interacting with dolphins can actually alter people’s brainwaves and stimulate the release of endorphins, the
chemical responsible for feelings of happiness.

Presenter: That’s incredible! Why do you think that is?

Rupert: No one knows for sure, Will, but some people believe that dolphins emanate a powerful energy
called ‘chi’ that can greatly improve an individual’s state of mind. That’s why people suffering from autism or
depression are often encouraged to swim with dolphins as part of their therapy.

Presenter: I didn’t know that. Are there any other benefits for humans?

Rupert: Swimming with dolphins can be educational; it gives people the opportunity to learn more
about dolphins’ behavioural patterns and listen to them communicating with one another first-hand. If people
are informed about dolphins, they’re more likely to feel motivated to help conserve and protect them from
various threats.

Presenter: So is your organisation in favour of swimming with dolphins?

Rupert: That’s a difficult question to answer, Will. While we’re not entirely opposed to it, a new study has
shown that interaction with humans might have a potentially detrimental effect on dolphins and their habitats.

Presenter: Really? How so?

Rupert: Well, the study I’m referring to was conducted in Zanzibar in Tanzania, where dolphin habitats
are regularly invaded by boats of tourists. Now, wild dolphins live in habitats that are specificallysuited to
their needs, and if boats and swimmers are continually disrupting their environments, the animals will be
forced to look for new homes. The trouble is it’s not always easy for them to find ideal habitats.
Presenter: I didn’t know that.

Rupert: Most people don’t know that. And most people are also unaware that their attempts to swim
with, and touch dolphins, interfere with the animals’ ability to rest, or feed, or nurture their young. The other
problem is that tourists are often so eager to make contact with dolphins that, when the dolphins surface to
breathe air, tourists on speedboats often chase after them. It’s very unsettling for the dolphins, as I’m sure you
can imagine.

Presenter: Gosh, that doesn’t sound good.

Rupert: It isn’t.

Presenter: You mentioned that people try to touch dolphins; is that advisable?

Rupert: Not really. Dolphins may seem cheerful and playful, but that doesn’t mean that they’re always in a
sociable mood. You have to remember, these are creatures living in the wild, and they won’t always take
kindly to being approached and touched.

Presenter:I suppose not. Rupert, thanks so much for coming in to speak to us – I’m sure our listeners have
learnt a great deal from you today.

Rupert: It was my pleasure, Will. Thanks for having me!

Part 4
Parents and children lost one of their most dedicated advocates this week. T. Berry Brazelton was a
pediatrician and a child psychiatrist, but he will be remembered most for teaching the world and especially
parents about babies.

You notice that she smiled the first two or three times (laughter). And then she moved her hands a little bit.
And finally she began to open her eyes as if she was waiting for the next stimulus, which I think it's fabulous
'cause it shows that she's sort of anticipating.

Through his clinical work, best-selling books and TV program, Brazelton became a rock star to overwhelmed
and anxious new parents.

His nickname was the Baby Whisperer. In 2007, he told NPR's Steve Inskeep about what led him to be a
pediatrician.

Well, I hated my younger brother, and my mother was so invested in my younger brother. But my
grandmother valued me, and she let me take care of all my younger cousins. And I found out that it was so
much fun, that I knew by 9 years of age that I wanted to be just what I am - a pediatrician who works with
parents.

For generations of parents, Brazelton was the expert. But when it came to his own children, he struggled.

Oh, gosh, I don't think I ever did anything right. My kids will be glad to tell you that. And so I really feel that
learning to parent is learning from your mistakes, not from your success.

Brazelton's work revolutionized the way we view babies and young children. During his more than 50-year
career, he encouraged the world to see them as complex beings. Here he is in a 2010 interview.

What I dream of is that every parent will have an opportunity to give her and his child the best future that they
can dream of and that every child will be ready to accept that and take off to get there. And I think we can do
that.
T. Berry Brazelton died on Tuesday just shy of his 100th birthday.
