It's the last episode of Natural Reaction... for the moment.

We finish the season talking about lady astronauts, chicken human hybrids and how Juno takes photos of Jupiter.

We also talk to Dr Frank Sainsbury about virus like particles, how the hype of nano particles deals with reality, and a bunch more - listen in!

This week we have in Jake Clark, a PhD Student with the Astrophysics Group at the University of Southern Queensland to talk about exoplanets, exploring the stars from Toowoomba and of course, aliens.

Izzy discusses Roman coins and how an ice core can give remarkable results, and Nadya discusses all the colours of blood in the animal kingdom.

Jacinta quickly discusses hippo poo. Listen in!

This week we have Dr James Reid in the studio to talk about super computers, academia, and why he doesn't work with quantum.

Nadya discusses repurposing Viagra for cancer, and Jacinta talks about an AI placing a hair appointment.

Izzy discusses apex preditors moving back into original habiatats.

Listen in!

With only four weeks to go until an indefinite hiatus to Natural Reaction, we thought we would do some of the stuf we'd always said we wanted to do, but hadn't gotten around to it yet.

First up: book club! We chat about woman in science, a bad history of everything, sex in space, animal sex, and the science of superheroes.

Listen in!

We have amazing guest Diana Lucia into the studio to talk about alcohol and how it affects humans at the stage of conception. We also chat animal models, and what being a skeptic actually means.

Izzy discusses how to make old damaged nerves do new tricks, we chat about Pint of Science, Nadya jumps into chatting about a new DNA structure and we finish off with Cuban offline internet. Listen in!

Nadya does an amazing job hosting this week while Jacinta is on holiday. We spoke to Cedric van den Berg, a PhD student and marine

ecologist researching the coloration of nudibranch. Hilde Mangold was

our Snubbed Scientist for the week, and Izzy discusses a new

nano-material.

(PS. Sorry it's so late this week! Jacinta was hella slack editing and uploading.)

This week we have physicist Dr James Bennett in to talk about light, all it's weird properties, and the coldest thing in the Universe.

Izzy discusses how biofilms can have memory, and we finish off with some 'jazzy' whale noises.

Listen in!

It's a weird episode, probably because the team have eaten too much chocolate. Jacinta talks about weird egg shapes, Nadya talks about why eggs look like they do, and Izzy discusses weird places for eggs, such as hydrothermal vents. We also discuss about chocolate, and how it's not as good as you think. Plus we discuss the falling spaceship Tiangong-1.

We have physics professor Tom Stace come in to talk about physics, quantum mechanics, and the late Stephen Hawking. We also talk about NATO and its effects on the Arab Spring, and our Snubbed Scientist - Nettie Stevens. Listen in!
