It’s the third and final in this accidental swampy theme! And this week it’s getting toxic…We’re joined by Dr. Will J Brownlie, an Environmental biologist at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. But don’t worry, Will isn’t the toxic one and nor is this week’s gin. We’re talking Toxic Algae. And more specifically, should we be worried about toxic algal blooms?Cheers!

We’re back and it’s out of this world!This week’s guest is Professor of Astrobiology and Space Biotechnology at Cranfield University, David C. Cullen, and he’s got a great one for us…. Is the emerging space tourism sector taking seriously the possibility of human conception occurring during spaceflight and considering the consequences and mitigation strategies?Something to consider if you’re planning on booking a space flight this weekend.Cheers
