It's time for another trip around the solar system on the BIGGER and BETTER Science Weekly!

In this episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly, we continue our bigger and better podcast where we answer YOUR questions, have scientists battle it out for which science is the best & learn about the future of AI!

Dan kicks off with the latest science news, starting with an update on astronaut Suni Williams, who has been stuck on the ISS since June. We then explore how hitchhiking pests are wreaking havoc on ecosystems worldwide. Finally, Professor Peter Heather joins Dan to discuss a ground-breaking method for testing ancient DNA that could reshape our understanding of British history.

We then answer your questions, Arthur wants to know all about cryogenic freezing and Professor Adam Taylor from Lancaster University answer's Harvey's question: Why do we get pins and needles?

Dangerous Dan continues, where we learn about one of the ocean's deadliest creatures... the Megamouth Shark.

In Battle of the Sciences, Dr. John Woodward explains the future of AI and why Computer Science is the best kind of science.
