Lucinda comes back to 'What's Science" to discuss with Susan the development and impact of the Sci-Fi genre. The inherently creative nature of the genre, reimagining a world outside our own, suits it well to playing out complex cultural feelings around science. But, of course, the genre itself is very interesting and fun! Lucinda's passion for it made her such a joy to chat to and we hope you enjoy the episode!
