Naked Scientists NewsFLASH 14.05.12 - Plant-Insect Tagteams and Boosting Fat for Weight Control

from Naked Scientists NewsFLASH, iTunesU · host Dr Chris Smith, The Naked Scientists

This week we hear how ants and plants are combining forces to help each other survive, how monkeys are cheekily planning for their future and how boosting brown fat in the body can help control our weight. We also investigate the matchmaking process of cells during meiosis, how the pathology of a virus could be predicted by analysing proteins in cells and how dinosaurs could have warmed the earth...with their flatulence!
