Fizzics TWIST is back!! In episode 24 we discuss:

Far Out with Duncan:

NASA have ‘sonified’ an image of space taken by the Hubble telescope. Is it eerie and terrifying or oddly pleasant? You be the judge.

On the Green with Quill:

Quill is back to fire up about climate change - climate modelling has revealed that if global CO2 levels reach 1300 ppm then clouds start to break apart and this really lets the genie out of the bottle - with sizzling consequences.  

 

UnTwist:

A second and possibly third person have been functionally cured of HIV. We untwist this story, explaining the mechanism and the future of HIV treatment using this method.

What’s on, Watson?:

Just in time for Women’s History Month, the first spacewalk by an all-female team will take place on March 29.
