As 2008 winds towards a close, we talk to Guy Nolch, editor of Australiasian Science magazine, about the highlights of 2008. These included the startup and subsequent shutdown of the Large Hadron Collider, and a new theory on the extinction of megafauna. We also talk about how water-saving shower heads work, why planes stay in the air and why the engines are never on top of the wing, the joys of painting ants to assist with studying individual behaviour in an ant colony, whether religion changes the way people visually respond to the world and have an in depth look at synthetic diamonds.For more information, visit us at http://einsteinagogo.net/ |

A couple of weeks ago, we discovered to our utmost horror that our favourite BIG thing, the Big Penguin of Penguin (TAS), was reported to have asbestos flowing through its fibreglass veins. Is the rumour true? Have the good folk of Penguin gone fleeing to the hills for their lives? Stephen Bock, our very own Penguin correspondent, gives us the low-down on the apparent perils of our favourite marine icon.
The word of the week is 'malacology' - the study of molluscs. Rebecca van Gelderen is the Secretary of the Australasian Society of Malacology came in to talk about her group and their penchant for all things molluscan... And we were most honoured to be joined by Kelvin Thomson, Federal Member for Wills, who in his spare time is a fully fledged twitcher with a special passion for migrating coastal birds. We have a great chat with Kelvin about his early days as a field naturalist, and some of his concerns about where we're heading as a nation in looking after our most precious natural assets. |

With all the stresses involved of organising a smooth-running Christmas, if indeed such a thing exists, Gill's show this week comes along at just the right time. Tips on keeping it together, watching your consumption levels (with a few clues on how to figure out exactly how much wine you're allowed to drink before driving) and a few non-pharmacuticle calmatives to get you through the good and not so good of the silly season. Callers ring in with questions about nettle and dandelion teas during pregnancy for water retention, bad breath and body odour and severe acne breakouts and what they could be telling us about our body. We also hear about FebFast, similar to Det-Ox-Tober, where you can take a month off the booze after the silly season, get your mates to sponsor you and money raised gets channelled back into the Youth, Drug and Alcohol sector. As always, for further information about today's or previous shows, check www.healthtrip.blogspot.com |

This week, we were joined by our guest, Professor Saeid Nahavandi, of Deakin University, discussing his work to make airports safer and more efficient. We discussed the role of wonder in motivating scientists and the predictive value of science fiction. There was news from the University of Melbourne about the role of folate in the prevention of Alzheimer's Disease. We revealed the sound of infrasound and its effect on the human body. Plus we heard all about when (allegedly) God died, and about the life and quirks of Charles Darwin.For more information visit http://einsteinagogo.net/ |
