Stripping down science, the naked scientists.

Hello, welcome to this week's naked scientists with me, Chris Smith, and also here this week is Cat Arnie. Hi Cat.

Hello.

Now find out this week how scientists have discovered the most powerful tongue in the world,

and surprisingly it doesn't belong to my mother-in-law, but whose is it?

Well we'll be finding out shortly

also how can aspirin cut cancer rates can it and can it do it as well as it cuts our

risk of having a heart attack and also a wacky way to ward off global warming. A US scientist wants to mine the

moon for materials to make a cloud that can give the Earth some shade from the Sun.

That's all on the way, Kat. Also this week we're exploring the world of radioactivity, including finding out how a nuclear

power station works.

Earlier in the week we sent off Dave and Anna to Sigh's well-be in Suffolk.

You can hear how they got on later and they didn't come back

glowing like the ready-bet kids. We'll also be joined by Cambridge University's

Ian Farnan to look into the thorny issue of what we actually do with the world's

nuclear waste, how should we store it and what should we do with it.

In kitchen science, we'll be doing our own bit of radioactive research, discovering how a smoke detector works,

plus Anant Krishnan's here fromenbrook's Hospital to explain how radioactivity can

help doctors to diagnose and treat disease.

And if you're in the mood to win something,

then there's a copy of my new book up for grabs.

It's called Naked Science, and it's full of all
