Episode description

Sleep experts are urging the Government to stop the UK’s biannual clock changes because they say it’s damaging the nation’s sleep.


Malcolm von Schantz, Professor of Chronobiology at Northumbria University and part of the British Sleep Society, says that sticking with BST would be best for our well being - especially school children and teenagers. 


We hear from the astrophysicist whose 20-year-old ‘controversial’ galaxy model has finally been proven right - with thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope. 


Findings from Professor Claudia Maraston from the University of Portsmouth, resolve a long-standing debate about the contribution of specific types of stars to distant galaxies' emissions, providing insight into galaxy formation and evolution.

  • Boeing-made satellite breaks up in space
  • Star Citizen game release date delayed again — this time until 2026
