Dr Laura joins Dr Shane in the studio.

In news, the Lost Wallet Study - a world wide test for honest, 17000 fake lost wallets, 355 cities in 40 countries. More money lost equalled more returned wallets.
Also, massive damage to the earth’s species due to the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs. One species to thrive was lichen who can photosynthesise without sunlight.

Guest is Toby Hendy, professional YouTubers on “Why you should quit your PhD”.

From the archives, an interview with Jane Goodall.

Einstein A Go Go - Sunday 23rd June 2019

Dr Ray and Dr Shane.

Science news: Feeding the biomass of the reefs, drilling the north-east coastline of the USA.

First Guest: Debbie Bower Lecturer in Ecosystem Rehabilitation Environmental and Rural Science University of New England. New Guinea is one of the only places in the world where frogs are safe from the species-destroying chytrid fungus. An international team of scientists has published a new paper that shows how to keep it that way, but they need help to carry out their plan. The chytrid fungus has wiped out more than 90 frog species around the world, and it’s driving hundreds more towards extinction.

Second Guest: Larry Croft, Deakin University. Scientists from Deakin University and the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney have started the first genome sequencing project to protect the Wollemi Pine, one of the world’s oldest tree lineages.

Third Guest: Paul Bence, School Earth Sciences, University of Melbourne, The Florey Institute, Parkville. Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a relatively new analytical technique that can be used to build up 2D maps of concentrations for a wide range of elements at the parts per million (or sometimes parts per billion) concentration levels.

Earth's moon could be tectonically active, peacock spiders, dangerous infections being caused by biofilms. Three guests who are speaking at the Pint of Science (bringing science to the public - in the pub) event.

1. Dr Georgia Atkin-Smith, Cell Biologist at the La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science, and the Walter and Eliza Hall for MedicalResearch. Georgia's research is focused on the death of monocytes, a key white blood cell type of our immune system. She is interested in understanding what happens in the final moments of a cells death, and how this impacts their removal and infectious disease.

2. Dr David Farmer,Neurobiologist at the University of Melbourne. Davids research largely focuses on neurobiology and the brain stem. He is also widely interested in the neural control of the heart, the coordination of vital organ function by the autonomic nervous system, the cough reflex and neural control of the innate immune response. 3. Dr Jennifer Piscionere, Data Scientist at Swinburn University of Technology Jens research focuses on exploring the relationship between galaxies and dark matter, and how that shapes the universe that we see today.

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