Short Science Podcast 071: Stress


Welcome to the seventy-first episode of the Short Science Podcast!


Join Elizabeth for all the very best science in brief!


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

- asteroid surrounded by cosmic trash

- Wii injuries

- human waste heating Didcot

- laptop thigh rash

- rare bumblebees return

- scratched glasses give 20-20 vision for all

- tiny tigers trump scientists

- obesity makes you fat


And we dip into the archives to see what was happening on this day in history.


We dedicate the capsules to stress this week. We look at mechanical stress in the material world, physiological stress in the body and psychological stress and how to beat it.
