If you can still recall Darwin's finches from your science lessons in school, seeing them in real life will be a surreal experience. You can catch them at the Treasures of the Natural World exhibition that is currently ongoing at the ArtScience Museum in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. The exhibition showcases over 200 specimens from the Natural History Museum in London. Highlights include a page of Darwin's handwritten manuscript of On the Origin of Species, Alfred Russel Wallace's insect collection, and a skeleton of the extinct sabre-toothed cat species. We speak with Jim Broughton, Head of International Engagement at the Natural History Museum, as well as Honor Harger, Executive Director of ArtScience Museum.

A few weeks ago, the MOH revealed that over 100,000 of those in Form 4 were facing mental health issues. In the nationwide survey, the biggest contributors of stress for this teenage demographic group were personal or family problems. Adding to that is the stress that comes with sitting for their SPM examination the following year. Together with clinical psychologist Paul Jambunathan in the house, we're exploring 2 questions this Talkback Thursday. For parents: Do you know whether your 16 year old is stressed out?

Why You So Liddat is a show that explores the mind, our behaviour, and why we are the way we are. We know we need to sleep but at the moment, science isn't 100% sure on the reasons why we need to sleep. One school of thought suggests we sleep to conserve energy. Another looked at it from an evolutionary standpoint - to avoid the predators we couldn't see at night. Professor Richard Horner explored this in his book The Universal Pastime: Sleep and Rest Explained  and he speaks to us today on his theory on why we need to sleep.

Malaysia and many other countries still approach drug addiction from a criminal justice perspective, where punishment is used as a deterrent. But many experts including Dr. Adeeba have said that this approach has failed and that it's time we consider the model that Portugal uses. Drugs were decriminalised back in 2001 and they used a more health-centred approach to address drug addiction. Dr. Adeeba joins us to talk about Portugal's methods and whether it would work in Malaysia.
