POV: you're going on a nature walk finding out why it can reduce the stress of city life & hearing from special guest immunologist and science communicator Catriona Nguyen-Robertson about her PhD research on the immune system's T cells. 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/epi…

Also not to be missed, Chris talking about reverse or anti lasers which absorb light rather than emit it, and for that to make that sense he tries to explain how regular lasers work too. Listen: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/epi…
Stu always buys his weapons from a guy called T-Rex. He's a small arms dealer🦖 Find out more about new research that may explain why the most famous dinosaur, the T. rex, evolved such big heads, and maybe why they had tiny arms: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/epi…

Our favourite thing about science is that it feels like science. 🧪

Also this week, Stu has some uncomfy facts for dark corners of the internet as he explains how the concept of #alphamales does not in fact correspond to how wolf packs operate in the wild. Listen: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/epi…
Space junk and big bacteria! 👾Chris revisits the world of space junk 🧫Stu talks about a giant bacteria that you can see with the naked eye. Listen: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/epi…
Congrats on the win! It was a tight race😃 Thanks to everyone who came along.
Team @scienceworks_mv won the @LostinScience1 @3CR #ScienceWeek trivia. We were trained for this! I was happy to finally put my writing of #WeirdFactWednesday to good use. What a delightful crew to hang out with to celebrate @Aus_ScienceWeek!

3 scientists walk into a bar... and start asking you about obscure sci-fi and science news stories! You're at Lost in Science trivia, back from a long hiatus for this year's @Aus_ScienceWeek, and @3CR. Add it to your calendar: fb.me/e/2sSMV7ARu

ICYMI: Claire tells us about the challenges associated with recycling cotton and polyester, and Stu runs us through recent research showing much more common variations in human sex chromosomes beyond the XX and XY you might have learned at school. 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/epi…
ICYMI: Chris dives into the recent research about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or #SIDS, bringing us closer to understanding a biological cause. Also - did you know it's #InternationalYearofGlass? Stu discusses why it's important. 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/epi…

I made a video! For the latest episode of @LostinScience1, with the physics of how ropes and yarn hold together, while Stu talks to @ChristianRinke about plastic-eating superworms. What?!?

ICYMI, last week Stu spoke to researcher @ChristianRinke about how superworms, the larval stage of some beetles, can eat and digest polystyrene, breaking it down into organic components. Catch up before the new show goes live tomorrow at 8.30am: 3cr.org.au/lostinscience/epi…
