Some of our best science stories from 2014. Comet landings, Ebola outbreaks, retracted stem cell studies, faecal transplant capsules and more!
Some misreported science stories this week. Do hurricanes with female names kill more than male hurricanes? Do men feel pain worse than women? And what can marmosets tell us about stillbirths? Plus Lyme disease in ancient ticks, and the controversial STAP papers finally retracted.
3D Printed skulls, airborne Black Death, marble hand illusion, the Permian extinction, STAP fraud and acupuncture.
STAP saga continued, exosuit for diving, giant virus thawed out after 30,000 years. Fighting space debris with lasers, and unconscious perceptions of maths ability.
Bionic hand that can feel, soft-tissue fossil site discovered, stuck in a laborious moment, and dinosaur pee.
Always informative, often entertaining. Great selection of regulars with a variety of interests and expertise. Also great guests with and Australian focus.
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.
