Welcome to the fourth 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:
- the new meets the old this year at Wimbledon
- a last push is needed for polio eradication
- mobile phones provide the latest on climate change across Africa
- eat less by actually eating more
Georgie continues our Capsule series with this week's Capsule Physics, taking us on a magical, mystery tour of black holes.
Our guest Capsule this week is from Professor Robert Winston, talking about his life in science and the media.
Elizabeth rounds off the capsules this week with Capsule Medicine, so we'll be baring all to find out more about moles.
We also welcome Rob Broderick to the studio and challenge him to rap some Cliff Notes on our science by the end of the show, in his own unique hip-hop-come-funky-folk-back-beat style!
And for a bit of light relief after all this mighty serious science (!) a short science quiz.
