Next, we learn about the record-breaking pace at which the world's glaciers are melting. Finally, horticulturist, Roger Parsons, joins Dan for a daffodil hunt and what YOU can do to help.  

We then answer your questions, Jack wants to know why do we breathe automatically? Professor Georgina Ellison from KCL then answers Fifi's question: Why do humans need to drink water?

Dangerous Dan continues, where we learn all about the Texas Blind Salamander 

Then, it’s time for Battle of the Sciences, where Dr. Dan Baumgardt from Bristol University explores the power of neuroscience, revealing how the brain can switch off pain!
