Better allergy testing -- The mechanics of dinosaurs-- Sheree Marris |
Summary |
"Remarkably, nearly one in five Australians now has some sort of food allergy, and the impact on family and school life can be horrendous. Milk, eggs, fish, nuts, or any of a host of other foods can set off a reaction. But can children outgrow allergies? And is diagnosis as good as it could be? -- Paul Willis visits Bristol in the UK to look at the work of engineering genius, Isambard Kingdom Brunel - and not just because he can! He finds out that a technique straight out of an engineer's tool kit is being used to help researchers better understand the eating habits of dinosaurs. -- A self-confessed water baby who loves the marine world, Sheree Marris is an impassioned environmental communicator. Her two great passions - the water and inspiring people - led her to create an underwater snorkelling trail, The Octopuses Garden. She's even written a book about the bizarre sex lives of marine creatures..and all because of a chance meeting with a sea slug! "-- edited from website |
