Together we explored the intricacies and ethics of gene editing, why cider is more like wine than beer, the art and science of soil (with live soil painting!),climate change,  the humble chicken, Alzheimer’s research, and so much more.

See you in September for more science, more questions, and more mind-bending programs.

Summer listening tip:  Tune into the new Locally Sourced Science program on Sundays at 5pm on WRFI, or catch up on all the episodes here.

Find us on facebook and twitter too for more science-y stuff.

Keep in touch, and do let us know your ideas! Over the summer we’ll try to keep you posted on local science news and events of interest.
