Hello, welcome to a special edition of the Naked Scientists from the Science Festival in Cambridge.

Everyone enjoying the Science Festival in Cambridge.

Everyone enjoying the Science Festival in Cambridge.

Okay, what we have for you is a fun-packed one-hour show

in which we are going to introduce you to some of the wonders of the universe.

We are going to answer your science questions and we're going to blow some stuff up.

To my right is an august panel from the University of Cambridge. Our first guest,

Haley friend. We give everyone a wave Haley.

Haley is from the

from the pathology department at the university where she is working on the breast.

The breast tissue, how it forms, how it works, what its function is. Of course, most people will say

the evolutionary role of the breast is to convince blokes that a stone of fat is actually

very attractive. And I understand Haley, you're actually making a model breast in the lab is that right?

We are yeah in the dish. We are literally building a breast in the dish so that we can test drugs out.

So we all know breast cancer is a big problem.

We want to test drugs.

And so we do this in a dish rather than using human bodies.

Thank you.

Also with us today, we have David David Weston who is from the biochemistry department.

David actually works on iron channels presumably not something that someone with a predilection for pressing laundry has a lot of

No, it's not that type of iron no No. I-O-N. So charged atoms called islands.

What do these things do in the brain?
