What do you do if you’re tangled in a difficult situation? 

Are you as adaptable as a starfish?

This week, Dr Alice Barbaglio, a Research Advisor at the University of Milan, is going to tell us more about starfish, sea cucumbers and sea urchins. What makes them mutable and the potential for medical applications.

All whilst drinking a sparkling bees knees.

Cheers

Does all of your knowledge on Artificial intelligence come from science fiction like ours?

If so, spoiler alert… it’s not quite true!

This week Dr Kaushik Hatti, an AI scientist at University of Dundee, is going to explain the science behind AI. Or, more specifically, machine learning

And hopefully it’ll help us decide if AI is good, or so very bad…’

When you hear Dentist for the Dead, do you automatically sing stupid deaths from horrible histories… no?… must just be Áine then

This week we’re joined by Dr Andrew Farrer, a science communicator and Head of Programmes and Delivery at Cambridge Science Centre

Although, the work we're talking about was his PhD, which he completed at the University of Adelaide in South Australia, and involved plenty of teeth scrapping, plaque bashing and dna sequencing

What did he learn, and what could we learn from your bacteria?

The internet! It’s just a thing that exists, that most of us use every day without thinking about…

But this week, we’re learning all about where it came from, and where it could be going.

Of course, we can’t do it alone. This week’s guest is David Lake, a part-time PhD student at the University of Surrey’s 5G and 6G Innovation Centre studying future networking. He's also an Engineering Technologist in the Office of the Chief Technology Officer with DELL. AND he's involved in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). I mean seriously… what an expert! But of course he is talking to us purely in a personal capacity.

And blimey, there's a lot more to the internet than we ever realised
