Short Science Podcast 042

Welcome to the forty-second 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:

- octopuses don't have personality

- fluctuating blood pressure now high risk

- plastic as a heat conductor

- take the pill to live longer

Emma kicks off the capsules this week with a Capsule Science looking at microscopes as a form of scientific imaging.

We hear Katriona Kerr of Primal Pictures, who tells us about the latest developments in graphic modelling of human anatomy.

Elizabeth rounds off the capsules this week looking at how we use imaging to see inside the human body.
