Boldly going where no science show has gone before.

The Naked Scientists

Hello and welcome to the naked scientists with me Ben Valsler and with Helen Scales.

Hello. Today we're looking at the science of architecture that's the science of

designing and building our homes offices and every other time. of 3D printer to print out entire houses and how natural light and ventilation could keep

buildings light and airy as well as reducing bills and energy use.

Plus we've got lots of news from the Animal Kingdom.

We find out how birds learn from their neighbors,

but only when the lessons are right,

how a squid's entire body acts as a giant eyeball,

and we listen to some chimps being tickled.

Isn't that wonderful, doesn't that make you want to laugh too?

That's the sound of a chimps being tickled and laughing.

And coming up we'll also find out whether or not that

tells us anything about our own tendency to giggle and how that evolved.

It is quite addictive, the sound of a chip laughing is there.

Plus in kitchen science, Dave and I will be challenging you,
