This week on the Naked Scientists we cross hemispheres to explore galaxies far far away. Chris presents live from Johannesburg to discuss the South African Large Telescope whilst back in the studio we explore the effects of space travel on the body, the expansion of our universe and the possibilities of another planet earth. We also investigate effects on our hearing and bring you a special kitchen science that could be out of this world. Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

We find out how to date a hobbit, discover how an enormous flood formed the English Channel, and examine the evidence for when ancient humans first used fire. We also tune into the world's smallest nano-sized radio, talk to the two men who flew over Mt Everest on paragliders and in Kitchen Science, we show you how to re-light your fire! Like this podcast?

Folge vom 28.10.2007Stem Cells and CloningThis week on the Award Winning Naked Scientists we find out about stem cells and cloning. We discuss the elusive 'stemness' that allows cells to specialise, and learn about cloning in the post-Dolly the sheep era. We also find out how genetics has revealed that Neanderthals were redheads, how soap affects shoals of fish and some turtles come equipped with anti-roll bars. We also pay a visit to the Manchester Science Festival for a chat with Johnny Ball, and in Kitchen Science, we "clone at home" and find out the future of the humble banana. Like this podcast?
