from Ask the Naked Scientists Hosted by Dr Chris Smith

Why do people wake up at 3am after drinking? Why is hot water cloudy? What drives a gust of wind? How does a coil of wire produce electricity?

Plus, a new surgical glue inspired by slug mucus. Chris Smith answers your questions with Eusebius McKaiser on South Africa's Talk Radio 702... Like this podcast?
