Description:
Top academics, dangerous ideas and your host comedian Susan Morrison. From stem cells to mini brains in a dish, Dr Rana Fetit (The University of Edinburgh) explores stem cells and brain organoids, and the controversy around using them. Do they feel and can they think? And Dr David Fairhurst (The University of Edinburgh) complains that so many aliens are six foot tall with four limbs. Dull. Dull. Dull. There’s more interesting life in the sea. Let’s explore what happens if we really tear up the “rule book”.
