BBC Inside Science – Answering Celebrity Science Questions

Available for 33 days

We’ve opened the airwaves to the curiosity of some familiar voices. Victoria Gill puts burning science questions submitted by celebs to Penny Sarchet, Managing editor of New Scientist, Mark Maslin, Professor of Earth System Science at University College London and Catherine Heymans, Astronomer Royal for Scotland and Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Edinburgh.

A master of mind reading and illusion wonders why memories and scars don’t disappear, a comedian asks what came before the big bang, and Anneka Rice is on top of a mountain considering what to do next. Listen in for the latest science and some educated hypothesising.
