In this episode, we answer YOUR questions, meet a prehistoric-looking reptile in Dangerous Dan, and uncover the science behind invasion biology.

In Science in the News, SpaceX has pulled off a nail-biting test flight that could change the future of space travel, researchers in India have uncovered a fossil that looks like it came straight from the age of the dinosaurs, and Ian White joins us to celebrate a conservation first — the arrival of baby dormice in Bragate Park!

Etta wants to know how our bodies digest large amounts of food, while Ed Turner from the National Space Centre helps us solve the mystery of Uranus: if it’s so far from the Sun… why is it hot?

In Dangerous Dan, we discover the Tuatara — a fascinating creature that looks like a dinosaur and hides some amazing secrets.

And in Battle of the Sciences, Dan is joined by Tim Blackburn from UCL to explore invasion biology and find out what happens when species spread into new environments.

What do we learn about?· A dramatic new SpaceX test flight· A dinosaur-like fossil unearthed in India· Why Uranus is hot, even though it’s far from the Sun· The incredible Tuatara and its prehistoric past· And in Battle of the Sciences… the science of invasion biology
