For this episode, we interviewed Professor Brian Espey, who studies gas both in galactic
and extragalactic systems. He tells us about dark skies, light pollution and observational astronomy. Ciaran Kelly, our resident PhD member, talks to us about a link between genes and homosexuality. Kate Finucane, our sound editor, after her trip to Joint European Torus or JET, talks to us about nuclear fusion!
