This show features the best science stories of the last couple of weeks; from black mamba venom to multifunctional glue we’ve got it covered. This week Sarah will be covering Tregs and their role in pregnancy while Mike will be looking at a newly discovered star orbiting a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. We have a discussion on space exploration as this week sees the first docking of a commercial cargo ship to the international space station. Our EuWhat features Jon looking at the HPV vaccinations and sexual promiscuity.
