Science and that is the same physics, medicine, nature, or space, time, brain, life, the universe.

Hello and happy new year.

Welcome to The Naked Scientists, the show that takes you to the cutting edge of science, technology and medicine with me

Eva Higginbotham and me Adam Murphy in this week's episode we are going to take you on a journey

through some extra special science stories that we reported on in 2020.

From chatting with a space shuttle astronaut to a 46,000 year old ice bird, we've got some

curious tales that we covered for some of our other Naked Scientists Podcasts.

We also have Naked Genetics, Naked Astronomy, The E-Life Podcast,

to name just a few and this week we're going to showcase some of our favorite stories from our

The Naked Scientists Podcast is powered by UKfast.co.uk. We're starting from great heights this week and considering the loftier lifestyle.
