Short Science Podcast 007


Welcome to the seventh 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:
- getting texts from your house
- brain surgery safer with better oral hygiene
- electronic crickets chirp out surviviors in rubble
- sweating not as copious as thought
Georgie continues our Capsule series with this week's Capsule Physics, following up her capsules on particles with a look at what has been going on with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

Our guest Capsule this week is from Robin North, talking about his work on the MESSAGE air pollution project and his life in science.

Elizabeth rounds off the capsules this week with Capsule Medicine, squeezing in a quick look at spots.

And for a bit of light relief after all this mighty serious science (!) a short science quiz.
