Hello, welcome along. It is the Fun Kids Science Weekly. My name is Dan. Thanks for listening. If you're stuck at home just like me right now, well, let me help you escape for a quick tour around the universe to learn some of the awesome stuff that's secretly hiding inside. Now, this week, we're learning about a terrifyingly hideous shark that's lurking at the

bottom of the ocean. We'll also talk about a worm that is 500 million years old and we'll chat to a

scientist all about what we can do to try and help stop the spread of the coronavirus. That's on the

way. Also, I've got some of your questions to answer.

First, let's catch up with one of the smartest geniuses that we know at Fun Kids HQ.

This is Professor Hallex.

Professor Hallex's Pathology Puzzles with the Royal College of Pathologists.

Hmm, a very puzzling case.

Not that silly show again.

So, was he poisoned or shot with a cannon?

I'm not sure, but the piano falling on his head won't have helped.

It's funny to think that solving medical mysteries is far more common with living people than

dead ones.

But if you don't feel ill, then there's no puzzle to be solved, surely.

Remember Nanobot. Hothology is about looking for clues.

Health screening helps find diseases and keep us healthy for longer.

Some people have a higher chance than others to get a particular disease, maybe because

of their age or family history. And so health screening is done to look for evidence. There's

lots of ways pathologists look for clues. Sometimes it can be as simple as asking questions.

How long have you felt poorly? Where does it hurt? Have you seen my glasses?

On your head. Thanks. Other times they may want to analyse a sample of your blood or we your tissue.

No. Not that kind of tissue. They're tiny pieces of your body. In a laboratory, pathologists will do experiments, looking at samples
