This Week: We peek behind the scenes at one of the most consequential research institutes in the world, let alone the UK or the East of England!  

Nestling at the heart of the Norwich Research Park, the John Innes Centre is home to the UK's greatest concentration of plant and microbial science and scientists - but that's not all!  No siree...

My co-host for our Royal Norfolk Show episodes joins regular roving microphone wielder Mike Rigby to look at just a fraction of the work being done inside the centre, including Bioimaging, Genotyping and the Insectary!  We also take in the social side of the John Innes Foundation, created though bequest by a Mr J. Innes.  

It was a struggle to keep this recording under an hour and it only just makes it. The recording was also bedevilled by technical issues, hence the delay bringing it to you and for which we apologise to you and the JIC.  

But wait!  We do find time for helicopters and fish!  And the link will surprise you...
