Our top stories from 2016. All the stories we thought particularly interesting, from gravitational waves to Tasmanian Devils!
Narwhals have excellent echolocation, gut bacteria could be the next source of antibiotics, and subsurface ocean on Pluto!
Is this the antibacterial apocalypse? Some bacteria is now resistant to even our last-resort antibiotics. Also biologists making flatworms grow the heads and brains of other species of flatworms, without altering their genome. And the genome of the tardigrade gets sequenced, and there’s a lot of foreign DNA in there.
Antibiotic resistance a growing problem, slower rate of expansion for the universe, LHC upgraded, paracetamol ineffective for back pain and Ganymede has a mysterious bulge.

Talking turtles, possible link between antibiotics and obesity, magpies and shiny objects and King Richard III was a boozer.
One third of US honeybees died last year. Breast-milk protein helps antibiotics.Fungus helps plants talk. Could 15,000 year old words still be in use today?

Nice to hear science news from an Aussie perspective and with a good dose of humour. Great work!
I have enjoyed this podcast b/c it is very funny banter about science stories but there is also a serious edge to the analysis. It's proof that you can be amusing and entertaining as well as giving the science content its due. Highly recommended weekly listening.
