Short Science Podcast 009

Welcome to the ninth edition of the Short Science Podcast. Join Elizabeth and special guest presenter Christopher for all the very best science in brief!

We kick off the podcast with a few prominent science news headlines from the week including:
- wireless electricity
- new way to repair broken hearts
- fuel economy remains poor in the States
- healthy fats not so healthy after all

Georgie continues our Capsule series with this week's Capsule Physics, telling us just what is interesting about printers.

Our guest Capsule this week is special guest presenter Christopher Hauke, talking about his work as a Jungian analyst and the differences between Jungian and Freudian psychology.


Elizabeth rounds off the capsules this week with Capsule Medicine, taking a look at diabetes.

And for a bit of light relief after all this mighty serious science (!) a short quiz, and a maths connundrum for you to take a crack at! Just send in your answers by 10am (UK time) on Thursday 6th August.
