In the studio this week Dr Shane is joined by EAGG colleagues Dr Euan, Dr Laura and Chris KP.

The team kick things off with some science news.

First up, research from Cork, Ireland involving plankton, coral and underground carbon storage.

Secondly the team introduce the listeners to a fish that is the fastest known in the world at going from birth to reproduction in just 14 days.

Then finishing on a 60 year long experiment into the genetics behind breeding and domesticating Russian foxes that are friendly to humans.

First Guest: Simon Verdon - PHD Candidate Department of Ecology, Environment & Evolution at the school of Life Sciences at Latrobe University.

Simon joins the team in the studio to share some insight on the impacts of fire in the habitat and possible re-homing of the Mallee Emu-Wren which interestly is thought to be so small that if you weighed every single Emu-Wren in the world, it would weigh less than a full size Emu!

Second Guest: EAGG's own..... Dr Laura!

Dr Laura shifts seats this week (whilst still remaining in her usual physical seat) to enlighten the team and audience on the world of T cells and the use of vaccines to boost T cell levels in specific areas of the body to best fight area specific conditions.

Dr Euan then finishes things off this week giving us all a concise answer to the question; What is a micro biome? and sharing news regarding recent studies into changing biomes in both humans and Koalas through faecal transplant.

This week is Dr Shane, Dr Linden, Dr Ray and a returning appearance of Dr Chromo (Jeff).

First guest is Dr Jacqui Donohue, research fellow at the Royal Women's Hospital and University of Melbourne. Health Minister Greg Hunt launched the National Action Plan for Endometriosis, a $4.5 million program designed to reduce delays in diagnosis, boost public awareness, and educate people about the often misunderstood disease. The plan aims to find new treatments for the condition that affects 10% of women. Second guest is Stephanie Jacobs MSc, PhD Candidate from the School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment at Monash University. Heatwaves are the deadliest natural disaster in Australia and there is a greater risk of death from a heatwave in the city because cities are hotter at night due to the Urban Heat Island effect, where cities hold the heat from the day into the night. Her research looked at how we could hypothetically change the city to reduce temperatures during heatwaves, using a computational weather model on a supercomputer.
