Welcome to the seventieth episode of the Short Science Podcast!
Join Elizabeth and Natty for all the very best science in brief!
We kick off the podcast with a few prominent science news headlines from the week, including:
- double-sided sticky tape catches volcanic ash
- breast is best at warding off infection
- Indian vegetable crisis
- genetic defect identified in migraine study
- sunflower origins uncovered
- laser diagnosis
- LHC yields 'interesting' results
- city dwellers adept at fighting off bugs
And we dip into the archives to see what was happening on this day in history.
We dedicate the capsules to genetic manipulation this week. Natty looks at the most basic and common form - selective breeding. Elizabeth looks at GM foods and the basics of genetic modification for this purpose.
Plus we find out what Natty has been up to since we last had him on the show in episode 026.
