This week we explore the Irish ancestry of polar bears, hear about a new maths meet-up, and have some fun with the basics of chemistry.
In this episode:
Dan Bradley of Trinity College Dublin tells us about the connection between Irish brown bears and the polar bears of the Arctic Circle.
What do you get when you combine maths and beer? MathsJam! We hear about a new monthly meet-up in the pub for chic maths geeks.
And in our Culture Corner, Scibernauts Marie ‘Boron’ Boran, Sylvia ‘Lithium’ Leatham and Gavin ‘Helium’ Byrne talk about the basic elements of chemistry, from ‘green dragons’ to ‘black diamonds’.
