It's science, but not as you know it, the naked scientists.

Hello and with

Hello, Kat Arnie and on this week's show we will be hearing how scientists have found a way to reawaken

dormant stem cells in the adult brain.

Wakey,

and it means they may have been able to find a way to repair damage

caused by diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Also, scientists have discovered a parasite

that turns a caterpillar into a body card.

This is amazing, it's kind of a zombie wasp thing.

It defends the thing that it's infected to the death.

And we've also got news of a new technique to obtain fingerprints

from things that were previously

unfingepingepinable and also we'll be finding how all that works in just a minute.

Thanks, Kat. Now this week we're turning back the clock several thousand years to hear how scientists have followed

the clues in what's probably one of the most famous ancient Greek stories of all time and they've

applied it to real life to find the locations described in that story the Odyssey and we'll also be hearing how they've

done that and what they found so far later in the program. Plus we'll also be

recreating what's probably one of the best known experiments of all time

in this week's kitchen science

and it involves the guy who was arguably

the world's first official naked scientist.
