Purser Explores The World


Science Surveys, IVF and Vibrating Moths

July 20, 2013

We finally defeated the gremlins and managed to actually record episode 14 of For Science!


For this episode Mags and James were joined by Dr Mel Thomson from Deakin University. Dr Thomson is a micro-biologist who's currently involved with a project looking at the effectiveness of using maggots as a debridement treatment for a particularly nasty bacteria.


This episode we talk about:


Three Parent IVF Techniques


The ABC's Science Forum


Using sugar instead of radioactive dies to detect tumours under and MRI


Moths that vibrate their genitals to throw bats off their game


and the value of the recent Australian Acadamy of Science "Science Survey".
