Einstein A Go-Go

Barbara Wienecke from the Australian Antarctic Division shares her insights into the lives and behaviours of emperor penguins; Dr. Simon Corrie, Senior Lecturer in the Chemical Engineering Department at ARC Centre for Bio-Nano Science talks about a world-first discovery by researchers at Monash University and The University of Queensland that could lead to faster and more effective treatments for chronic health complications, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, with ‘fluorescent’ in vivo biosensors. And the team discuss how much fish poo is in the ocean; magnetic field reversals found in Kauri trees; and the Mars rover landing. With presenters Dr. Shane, Dr. Krystal, Dr. Euan, and Dr. Graci.

Julie McInnes, Australian Antarctic Division, tells us about her experiences of living and working on Macquarie Island; Amy Shira Teitel, a co-host for the Discovery Channel's online DNews channel discusses her new book about women in space. And in weekly science news, the team discuss the problem of native animals killed by pet cats, Whale songs and the Einsteinium element. With presenters Dr. Shane, Lauren, Jen and Chris KP.

The team discuss mechanisms associated with exercise, obesity, type 2 diabetes and cancer, with Professor Mark A Febbraio from Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Eden Febbraio, who is contemplating a career of her own in science. The team then head south to explore how the human impact on biodiversity is assessed and mitigated in Australia’s Antarctic territories with Chief Scientist Dirk Welsford of the Australian Antarctic Division. To wrap up, a spokesperson from the Lost Dogs Home in North Melbourne talks about pets, companionship, and COVID.
