Hi, and this week we're Jenny Smith.

We uncovered the genes behind migraines and how the world's smallest movie was made from molecules.

Plus we're touching up our knowledge on how the iconic St Paul's Cathedral was restored

and we'll find out how we're trying to conserve ancient and modern objects right through from oil paintings to plastic and
