Lockdown Science

A Disgusting Staring Contest


Listen Later

This week we’re finding out just how identical identical twins really are, asking whether the didgeridoo can help us get better sleep, reacquainting ourselves with the mother of palaeontology, listening out for some eery “singing”, investigating what really drives feelings of disgust, and checking out what Sir David Attenborough has been up to lately. 


If you find some fun science that you think deserves its place on the show, we'd love to hear from you! Get in touch with us at [email protected]!
