Welcome to the third edition of the Short Science Podcast. Join Elizabeth and Georgie for all the very best science in brief!
We kick off the podcast with a few prominent science news headlines from the week including:
- scientists find a new way to measure the amount of charge on single atoms
- men are being warned that they are at greater risk of cancer than women
- Europe's new billion-euro Herschel space observatory has reached a critical milestone
- how a new discovery could lead to a solution for the devastating pain that plagues sufferers of many cancers
Georgie continues our Capsule series with this week's Capsule Physics - answering the question on everybody's lips - just how does a television actually work?
Our guest Capsule this week gives us a chance to get to know one of our presenters a little better - Elizabeth Hauke talks about her life in medicine.
Elizabeth rounds off the capsules this week with Capsule Medicine - giving us some behind the scenes background on the cancer cell.
And for a bit of light relief after all this mighty serious science (!) a short science quiz.
