Summary:

The latest developments in health, medicine, environmental issues, space and technology feature in this exciting and thought-provoking package of science stories. This episode discusses a laser activated glue that could revolutionise microsurgery; a series of experiments with primary school children to see if a programme of high calcium diet together with regular, high impact exercise like jumping and skipping can improve your chances of good, strong bones in later life; a new airborne survey system called Tempest that has been developed to penetrate top soil and spot new mineral deposits; researchers at the University of Western Sydney who are investigating the development of the sense of taste in babies and children; and pioneering work conducted by the Australian Museum in Sydney to encourage the shift from dangerous pesticides to non-toxic methods for pest control.
