Toe Disasters
Megan joins us to share a toe horror story from her recent honeymoon, Hannah shares a story from Thailand, and we asked our audience for their stories in the Facebook group, so if you want to see Megan's toe, head to that thread but be warned, it's gruesome!
How Our Genetics Determine How We Look
Kathryn Visser from Genetic Counselling Australia helps us understand the role of a genetics counsellor, how it's possible to get blue eyes from brown-eyed parents, what the most inherited facial feature is, and why Ancestry DNA can help you crack the code to who you look more like out of your parents.
