Dr Nathan Chang and Rahman Daiyan reveal that Australia is in prime position to take advantage of the green hydrogen revolution, with its great solar resource and potential for export. The Nobel Prize for Chemistry is being awarded for the discovery of CRISPR, but what is CRISPR? How does it work? What are the applications of CRISPR technology?

With presenters Chris KP, Dr Euan, Dr Jen and Dr Shane.

Madison Paton from the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Institute talks about new trials into the use of cell therapies for cerebral palsy; Dr Hamish McWilliam from the Doherty Institute explores new research into an “antibacterial superhero” inside our cells called the MR1 protein. And in weekly science news, the team discuss southern sky mapping, a study on the high covid pandemic death rate, and the NASA OSIRIS-REx asteroid probe mission. With presenters Dr. Shane, Ailie, Stacy, and Ray.
