This episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly we continue our bigger and better podcast where we put YOUR questions to our team of experts, have scientists battle it out for which science is the best & learn all about why grey squirrels on the run is so dangerous for their red counterparts?

Dan starts with the latest science news, where we learn about the UK's latest astronaut, why NASA's plan to bring Mars' rocks down to earth has hit a snag & Dr Craig Shuttleworth from Bangor University explains why grey squirrels are the talk of the town after their recent escapades in Wales.
