A weekly programme that illuminates the mysteries and challenges the controversies behind the science that’s changing our world.
The latest European State of the Climate report has found that Europe is once again getting warmer, and at a rate that is twice as fast as the global average. Tom Whipple is joined by Dr Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, to understand the driving forces behind this stark difference and anticipate what Europeans can expect in the coming years as a result.
We also remember Dr J Craig Venter, one of the famous founders of what we might now call the genomic age of science who dies this week.
In the lead-up to the 100th birthday of the world-famous broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, Inside Science is shining a spotlight on a species of scientific importance that has been named after him. This week, Dr Leonidas-Romanos Davranoglou shares his treacherous search for a unique species of echidna previously thought to be extinct.
Plus, science journalist Caroline Steel fills us in on the latest science news that you might have missed – from the surprising growth rates of Neanderthal babies to 10,000 newly discovered planets.
