Interronauts

Join Jesse and Sophie as they cast their net overboard to snag last fortnight's science news before heaving it aboard with their gelatinous biceps for us all to sort through. Here's the catch: they talk about how it is that we're able to remember (tens of) thousands of faces with relative ease, a new CSIRO algorithm that can model blood vessel growth to pre-empt tumours, the ancient origins of Homo sapiens (100 000 years older than expected), and, they speak with Robert Whyte, co-author of A Field Guide to  Spiders of Australia - the latest and most comprehensive guide to those wonderful eight-legged friends.

Dive back into science news with the Interronauts! Jesse and Sophie are back with a brand new episode, studio, the whole kit and caboodle (kitten cavoodle?). They talk about why it is that the fittest Tassie devils are most likely to succumb to the deadly facial tumours, how to pipe renewable hydrogen, why some shark mammas hook up with multiple pappas, and they speak with Dr Lisa-ann Gershwin about her to-date co-discovery of 204 species of sea animals (including a DOLPHIN!).

Join Jesse, Sophie, and Adrian as they talk about how the world's worst extinction was caused by microbes, mandrills that don't groom those with sickly faeces, Neanderthal's making jewellery, and their chat with Dr Rob Kinley about his research feeding seaweed to cows to neutralise their methane emissions. Methane special!

In this extended dino version of Interronauts, we talk about the newly discovered Daspletosaurus horneri and its exquisitely preserved skull. We also speak with Dr Steve Salisbury from the University of Queensland about his research on the Dinosaur Coast and the world's largest footprint.

Join the Interronauts-Jesse, Sophie, and Adrian-as they go dinosaur hunting along the west Australian coastline with Dr Steve Salisbury (not Turok). They also chat about sensitive dinolovers, CSIRO's new lab-on-a-glove, and Mars' ghost of an atmosphere. Let's zip ourselves up and get mailed back to the Cretaceous.

Join Jesse, Sophie, and Adrian as they dive deep on the evolution of the human nose, tardigrades (check 'em out) and how they dry out for 30 years, why water droplets splash, and some work on climbing foxes. They also speak with Dr Ken McColl about the ambitious plan to release a strain of herpes to target pest carp in Australian water ways. Woo it's a bumper episode!

Jesse, Sophie, and Adrian get together to chat about the uninvited microbes that stumble into our guts, how you can store Amazon gift cards on DNA, the mutations behind mirror movement disorder, and CSIRO's 3D printing of a titanium sternum and polymer tissue. We also speak with Michelle Trautwein about her new project 'Arthropods of Our Homes' to catalogue the Australian arthropods we share our homes with. Enjoy the show, why don't you.

Jesse, Sophie, and Adrian join interroforces to discuss the antimicrobial properties of dragonfly wings, how roundworm genes might inform weight gain, how desert ants navigate their way home, and from CSIRO, a new way to make graphene (the world's strongest material), pesky mobile Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and we cross over for a live chat-podcast live-with Asaesja Young, one of our communicators in Antarctica.

Jesse, Sophie, and Adrian talk about menopausal whales, panda thumbs, Tasmanian tiger brains, and frisky wrens. They also have a chat with Dr Lisa Harvey-Smith about the launch of the new ASKAP radio telescope, and discuss research around CSIRO: mouse plagues and trips to Antarctica.
