Bacteriophages; Breath-detecting disease; Our bees electric and DNA Barcoding
b'
Professor Alice Roberts talks bacteriophages: viruses that infect the bacteria that infect us. With the rise of antibiotic resistance they are a potential weapon against infection.
We hear from Paul Hebert, the biologist behind the International Barcode of Life project \\u2013 a global effort to classify the entire world\\u2019s species according to their DNA.
Bristol researchers have discovered that it is more than scent and colour that draws a bee to a flower \\u2013 there is also an electric field.
Claire Turner from the Open University shows us the instrument she uses to detect disease. It can sense when a heart transplant patient is rejecting their new organ, purely through monitoring their breath.
