Summary
Why do we wheeze? And what makes the James Webb Telescope better than the Hubble Telescope? This week we have Dhara Patel from the National Space Centre to tell us just that, as well as how the Webb telescope takes such in depth images! In Science in the News this week we learn about the fossil of the earliest know predator in Leicester, and who it has been named after! We also hear about a furry rodent that has been on a great nut heist! As always we are joined by Professor Hallux who is looking at our teeth this week, and Techno Mum who teaches us all about how our bodies work when playing sport!
