Episode description
Hosts: Ed Brown, Penny Dumsday, Dr. Krystal Evans.
Topics covered:
Dr. Krystal gives us an in-depth progress report on malaria treatment - is this the year we start winning the war on malaria? Also Penny tells us how nematode worms can distinguish good bacteria from harmful bacteria, and the discovery of two sunken 'mini-continents' off the coast of West Australia. Plus an update on the troubled Phobos-Grunt probe - it's alive! And more results for those faster-than-light neutrinos.
Dr. Krystal is a malaria researcher at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute.
