You might think that wasps are nothing more than unlovable, angry pests, but you’d be wrong! On today’s episode, we’re discovering how wasps are aiding cancer research, how they can be trained to sniff out bombs and how they help agriculture. 

We’re also learning about how wasps ‘zombify’ spiders and we’re getting some solid advice on what to do if a wasp is hounding you this summer! 

Special thanks to today’s expert, Professor Seirian Sumner.
