Description

In this episode of our weekly series where journalists from the Cosmos newsroom bring you their highlights from the week in science, we hear about the crows being put to work – and the ethics of it, 300-year-old Arctic sponges, and a self-cleaning bioplastic modelled on the lotus plant. Our journalists today are Lauren Fuge, Amalyah Hart and Ellen Phiddian.
