Science On Top 4 - Special Cuddle Time

Ed just keeps getting better at choosing the right title for these things....

This week, we had a fourth member - Lucas Randall, a critical thinker, blogger and skeptic (not a climate change skeptic moron - but rather these guys). He was a pleasure to have on the show as he's extremely switched on, knows his stuff and has a natural curiosity that's infectious.

His blog is Codenix (I can't bring myself to link to his Twatter...)

Anyway, our episode 4 is here. This one was a monster - almost an hour.

Topics covered:

* A galaxy 3 billion light years away is home to the biggest blast seen in the universe due to a supermassive black hole eating a star....how fucking awesome is that??
* An observation about weight and dementia
* On our way to growing a full eye in the lab
* Using magnets to improve rehabilitation for patients with brain degenerative diseases and conditions
* Viriophages, or ....sigh... "cannibal" viruses in Antarctica
* Pimping Discoveries Need Dollars
* The first known instance of an insect-borne disease being transmitted sexually

And Jezebel decided to bark at the end... idiot dog...
