It's the last episode of Natural Reaction... for the moment. We finish the season talking about lady astronauts, chicken human hybrids and how Juno takes photos of Jupiter. We also talk to Dr Frank Sainsbury about virus like particles, how the hype of nano particles deals with reality, and a bunch more - listen in!

This week we have in Jake Clark, a PhD Student with the Astrophysics Group at the University of Southern Queensland to talk about exoplanets, exploring the stars from Toowoomba and of course, aliens. Izzy discusses Roman coins and how an ice core can give remarkable results, and Nadya discusses all the colours of blood in the animal kingdom. Jacinta quickly discusses hippo poo. Listen in!

This week we have Dr James Reid in the studio to talk about super computers, academia, and why he doesn't work with quantum. Nadya discusses repurposing Viagra for cancer, and Jacinta talks about an AI placing a hair appointment. Izzy discusses apex preditors moving back into original habiatats. Listen in!

With only four weeks to go until an indefinite hiatus to Natural Reaction, we thought we would do some of the stuf we'd always said we wanted to do, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. First up: book club! We chat about woman in science, a bad history of everything, sex in space, animal sex, and the science of superheroes. Listen in!
