Stripping down science, the naked scientists.

Hello and welcome to the naked scientist show.

Chris is away for the next couple of weeks.

You've only got me, I'm afraid afraid Dr. Cat and the delightful Dr Helen.

Hello.

So what are we going to be doing today?

We've also got the very handsome Petro in the studio who's doing all the really complicated

stuff with knobs and faders to make it all work.

On this week's show we're going to be discussing the latest developments in cancer research.

Could understanding stem cells be the key to beating cancer in the future?

And how are new technologies helping us to find out

more about the genes involved in driving the disease. To get to the bottom of it,

we're joined here in the studio by two fantastically knowledgeable guests,

Professor Fiona Watt from Cambridge University, and Dr Andrew Futrell from the Sanger

Centre in Hinksden.

They're going to be here to answer all your questions about the latest developments in cancer

and research, and that's not all we've got lined up Helen.

No that's right of course today we will also ask you if you'd like to take part in

kitchen science and make your own electric slime doesn't that sound fantastic?

What you'll need for that is some vegetable oil, some

cornflower, a mug, a spoon and some polystyrene or a balloon. So gather those

things together and stand by and we'll tell you what to do with them.
