Short Science Podcast 033

Welcome to the thirty-third episode of the Short Science Podcast!

Join Elizabeth and Emma for all the very best science in brief.

We kick off the podcast with a few prominent science news headlines from the week including:

- moon was magma once

- a new meaning to 'skin-tight genes'

- artificial leaves could produce green energy

- circumcision may change penile flora for the better

Emma kicks off the capsules this week with a Capsule Science unpacking the science of snow.

Independent radio producer Connor Walsh joins us in the studio to talk about his new health radio show on London Chinese Radio.

Elizabeth rounds off the capsules this week looking at the adverse effects of cold conditions on the body.
