| Summary |
The latest developments in health, medicine, environmental issues, space and technology feature in this exciting and thought-provoking package of science stories. This episode looks at the recent discovery that honey is both powerfully antibacterial and hastens healing and that the honey from a native tree on the NSW coast could be the most potent of them all; the race to save Gilbert's Potoroos, a very rare marsupial previously thought to be extinct; Dr Brian Cooke who was among the first to realise the true potential of rabbit calicivirus as a biological weapon, and was instrumental in its trialing in South Australia; the Swinburne Centre for Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy who are using lasers as the worlds fastest camera and most powerful microscope to watch molecules at work; and research into why our memories get worse as we age |
