From dawn to dusk, there are changes in light, temperature, humidity and rainfall. In this podcast a biologist and author Leon Kreitzman discusses light, metabolism, human health and the seasons, and explain how organisms can "know" the time and reveal what we now understand of the nature and operation of chronobiological processes.

Although this “Giant Impact” model is widely accepted, increasingly there are aspects of the Moon’s composition that appear inconsistent. ​New evidence also casts doubt to the theory that Earth’s water and other volatile elements were added after the Moon’s fiery start. Join us to hear Prof Alex Halliday (Dept of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford) discuss the potential origins of the Moon and why we don’t have a self consistent model to explain its origins.

Prof Colin Goding discusses what the barriers are to effective anti-cancer treatment and how these can be overcome.

His comprehensive plan for rejuvenation therapy breaks aging down into seven major classes and identifies detailed approaches to addressing each one. In this talk, Dr. de Grey will explain why therapies that can add 30 healthy years to the remaining lifespan of typical 60-year-olds may well arrive within the next few decades. Dr. Aubrey de Grey is the Chief Science Officer of SENS Foundation, a biomedical research charity, based in the US and UK, that aims to develop, promote, and ensure widespread access to rejuvenation biotechnologies that address the diseases and disabilities of ageing.

Today roughly half of all cancer patients receive radiotherapy. But how does radiation treatment work and what is the role in imaging in all of this? Listen to hear Dr Mike Partridge talk about the physics of radiotherapy, how advances in technology have improved it and what further advancements are being worked on today.
