We celebrate Medical Research Week with a live broadcast from the Melbourne Museum. Fay Khong, Ph.D student at St Vincent's Hospital, drops by to chat about her research into the effect of diabetes on the heart, Dr Tom Brodnicki from the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research discusses environmental and genetics factors that contribute to juvenile diabetes, as well as his non-obese diabetic (NAD) mouse model, and, finally, Dr Vance Matthews from the Baker Heart & Diabetes Institute looks at the link between obesity and diabetes, as well as his research into overcoming insulin resistance. Dr Andi also finds that the back of Chris KP's hand is chock-a-block with pain sensors, oil glands, nerves, sweat glands, blood vessels - and quite a few hairs.
Bron and Doctor Beach discuss the latest in ocean microbiology, particularly the astounding diversity of organisms being discovered and how studying their biology impacts on our understanding of the environment. Brett calls in with a dive report from Blairgowrie, and we chat with Gail Seddon, CEO of Keep Australia Beautiful, about the Clean Beach Award. We finish with an intriguing report involving the KGB cover-up of the true number of whales slaughtered by the Soviets and the scientist who brought this data to light.
The Environment and your own backyard how easily do they connect? Do you get off on World Environment Day and are your reasons as valid as they could be. A bit more of a conceptual Dirty Deeds for your listening pleasure.
