    Get ready for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the wonders of science on this week’s Science Weekly!

    This episode plunges us deep beneath the waves as we uncover how dolphins and other ocean animals manage to hold their breath for astonishing lengths of time. Then, we shift from sea to psychology as Battle of the Sciences takes us inside the human mind to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can shape our physical health.

    In Science in the News, Australian tropical rainforests have shocked scientists by releasing more carbon than they absorb. We’re also heading to Wales, where plans for a ground-breaking nuclear power station are underway. And Barny Reed from the RSPCA joins Dan to explain how the UK is moving toward more humane animal testing.

    Then it’s over to your questions! Misha wants to know how braces work, and Alison Wood from Whale and Dolphin Conservation reveals how dolphins hold their breath for so long.

    Dangerous Dan returns with the grolar bear, a rare hybrid of a grizzly and a polar bear.

    And in Battle of the Sciences, Mark McDermott champions health psychology, showing how the way we think and feel can affect our bodies.

    Plus, Marina Ventura dives back in with another Ocean Adventure, exploring how oceans help humans survive and thrive.

    This week, we learn about:– How dolphins stay underwater for so long– Why some rainforests are releasing carbon– How braces straighten teeth– What makes the grolar bear so unusual– How psychology affects your health

    All that and more on this week’s Science Weekly!
