Stripping down science, the naked scientists.

Hello and welcome to the naked scientists.

This week we have a very watery show for you.

We will be diving into the science of the oceans and in particular the effects

us humans are having on those oceans and the seas around us and to accompany us on this fishy

journey you've got me Helen and Dr Cat. Hello.

And so when Chris told me that he'd be leaving me in charge this week,

I couldn't resist but take the chance to dedicate a show to the subject closest to my heart.

Yes, those wonderful seas.

We'll be finding out more about what lives in the

oceans and what effects we're having on them. In the studio we have with us Dr Analese

Hagen from the Living Oceans Foundation who'll be telling us all about her

high-tech work monitoring the health of tropical reefs

both from underwater and from the air. And hopefully we'll also be talking to

Stan Harpold from the University of California Irvine if we can get him on the line

to find out more about

the impacts that all the fertilizers were used to grow crops have on biodiversity both

on land and in the sea. And here's cap with a rundown of what else we've got

lined up for this week on the naked scientists.

And today as usual we'll be giving an update on some of the latest science news.

We'll be finding out if Orangutan's really are, the King and the Swingers, and while your

brain is more like a worm than you may have thought.
