#11 - The 2014 Elections

The Science Inside is a weekly show that goes inside the science of major news events. 
We take a news story each week - from a missing plane to the World Cup - and dissect the science angles involved. 
We indulge every scientific discipline, from biology to psychology, and incorporate the insights of scientists, journalists, and researchers in order to tell interesting radio stories.

The show is produced by the Wits Radio Academy and a version is broadcast on Voice of Wits VowFM in Johannesburg, South Africa every Monday at 6pm.
