• Buns - A short but thick guide to the human buttocks with Heather Radke. Why do we humans have such large behinds?
• Something sweet - We’ve chosen the humble baobab seed. An unusual tree indigenous to Madagascar, the subject of an incredibly successful conservation project.
• Fries - Of course! The humble potato is threatened by climate change, what’s being done to futureproof it?Instructions:
• Who are we kidding! There is no scientific method!
