Stripping down science, the naked scientists.

Hello, welcome to a new edition and a new series of the naked scientists with me Chris Smith and also with Cat Arnie, hi cats.

Hello.

And with Dave Ansel this week.

Hi there.

Now on the way, scientists are going to get the go ahead next week to make chimeric

embryos which will merge humans and animal cells. But why do we need to do this and what will it help us and in what way will it tell us things

that's coming up

also why why'd it be worth talking to your flowers Prince Prince Charles does it. People said he was mad for doing it,

but it turns out the scientists have now discovered that rice really can respond to sound, but how?

And also scientists have invented the world's smallest thermometer.

It's the size of just a single molecule.

Plus we're trying to find out whether medicine can tell its eyesabars from its elbow in this painful

question from cat in Leeds.

I broke my elbow when I was younger and now when there's a sudden change in the weather, the

joint really aches. I assume it's got something to do with the change in air pressure

as a new weather front moves into the area and if that's right, then how would it make my arm her? And in kitchen

science I'll be asking you to investigate this eerie sound.

Weird definitely and if you want to try and try it grab an expensive wine glass and

some water or some wine. Oh that puts my teeth right on edge. Anyway this week is

also our question and answer

and we will try and answer any question you have for us.
